    "abstract": "The PICASSO project is a cold dark matter (CDM) search experiment relying on\nthe superheated droplet technique. The detectors use superheated freon liquid\ndroplets (active material) dispersed and trapped in a polymerized gel. This\ndetection technique is based on the phase transition of superheated droplets at\nabout room temperature and ambient pressure. The phase transition is induced by\nnuclear recoils when an atomic nucleus in the droplets interacts with incoming\nsubatomic particles. This includes CDM particles candidate as the neutralino (a\nyet-to-discover particle predicted in extensions of the Standard Model of\nparticle physics). Simulations performed to understand the detector response to\nneutrons and alpha particles are presented along with corresponding data\nobtained at the Montreal Laboratory.",
