MACHe3 (MAtrix of Cells of superfluid He3) is a project of a new detector for
direct Dark Matter (DM) search. A cell of superfluid He3 has been developed and
the idea of using a large number of such cells in a high granularity detector
is proposed.This contribution presents, after a brief description of the
superfluid He3 cell, the simulation of the response of different matrix
configurations allowing to define an optimum design as a function of the number
of cells and the volume of each cell. The exclusion plot and the predicted
interaction cross-section for the neutralino as a photino are presented.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings of Dark Matter 2000 (Marina Del Rey,
