Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM): A Novel Mechanical Ventilator Designed for Mass Scale Production in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
C. Galbiati, A. Abba, P. Agnes +145
Presented here is the design of the Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM), a novel mechanical ventilator designed for rapid mass production in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to add…
Simulation of STIRAP from the 1S to the 2S states of the Hydrogen/Antihydrogen atoms
AbdAlGhaffar K. Amer, A. Capra, T. Friesen +4
Achieving a high population of antihydrogen/hydrogen atoms in the 2S level is essential for spectroscopy measurements testing similarities between matter and antimatter. We propose…
Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM production for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a novel liquid argon dark matter detector currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclear…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
Directionality of nuclear recoils in a liquid argon time projection chamber
20k Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. Ahmad +264
The direct search for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) is performed by detecting nuclear recoils (NR) produced in a target material from the W…
Sensitivity projections for a dual-phase argon TPC optimized for light dark matter searches through the ionization channel
P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +296
Dark matter lighter than 10 GeV/c encompasses a promising range of candidates. A conceptual design for a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is presented, based on the DarkSide-50…
Design and Performance of a Novel Low Energy Multi-Species Beamline for the ALPHA Antihydrogen Experiment
C. J. Baker, W. Bertsche, A. Capra +47
The ALPHA Collaboration, based at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator, has recently implemented a novel beamline for low-energy ( 100 eV) positron and antiproton transport be…
In situ electromagnetic field diagnostics with an electron plasma in a Penning-Malmberg trap
C. Amole, M. D. Ashkezari, M. Baquero-Ruiz +37
We demonstrate a novel detection method for the cyclotron resonance frequency of an electron plasma in a Penning-Malmberg trap. With this technique, the electron plasma is used as…
Limit on the Electric Charge of Antihydrogen
A. Capra, C. Amole, M. D. Ashkezari +37
The ALPHA collaboration has successfully demonstrated the production and the confinement of cold antihydrogen, . An analysis of trapping data allowed a strin…
DarkSide-20k sensitivity to light dark matter particles
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +310
The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c. This was demons…
Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
