Abstract
SuperCDMS SNOLAB is a low-background experiment that will use semiconductor germanium and silicon detectors to search for galactic dark matter. In addition the experiment has potential to measure the coherent scattering of solar 8B neutrinos. This process will dominate some parts of the spectrum between 1 and 10 keV in the detectors with full background rejection capabilities. However the total number of events from coherent neutrino scattering is expected to be ∼1 if the experiment is assumed to operate five years with an 80% live time, and therefore not sufficient to provide a significant observation of this process. Upgrades to the experiment are planned to extend the sensitivity down to the limit set by the coherent neutrino scattering.
