Abstract :
A SSG detector has been tested in a first long-lasting experiment. It consisted of 13 g of tin granules with diameters of 29±0.5 μm embedded in Teflon powder with a volume filling factor of 11%. The detector has been exposed to cosmic rays and radioactive sources and has been kept for seven weeks at a constant temperature of 70 mK followed by shorter periods at 545 mK and 1.04 K. The detector performance as well as results of rate measurements are presented. These tests were made in preparation of the ORPHEUS dark matter experiment.
