Update on the MiniCLEAN Dark Matter Experiment
K. Rielage, M. Akashi-Ronquest, M. Bodmer +43
The direct search for dark matter is entering a period of increased sensitivity to the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). One such technology that is being ex…
Local Potential Model of the Hoyle Band in 12C
B. Buck, A. C. Merchant, S. M. Perez
We describe the excited 0+ state of 12C at 7.654 MeV, often called the Hoyle state, in terms of a local potential 8Be+alpha cluster model. We use a previously published prescriptio…
A Two-Field Formulation for Surfactant Transport within the Algebraic Volume of Fluid Method
T. Antritter, T. Josyula, T. MariÄ +5
Surfactant transport plays an important role in many technical processes and industrial applications such as chemical reactors, microfluidics, printing and coating technology. High…
Improving Photoelectron Counting and Particle Identification in Scintillation Detectors with Bayesian Techniques
M. Akashi-Ronquest, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +79
Many current and future dark matter and neutrino detectors are designed to measure scintillation light with a large array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The energy resolution and…
Electromagnetic Transition Strengths in Heavy Nuclei
B. Buck, A. C. Merchant, S. M. Perez
We calculate reduced B(E2) and B(M1) electromagnetic transition strengths within and between K-bands in support of a recently proposed model for the structure of heavy nuclei. Prev…
DarkLight: A Search for Dark Forces at the Jefferson Laboratory Free-Electron Laser Facility
J. Balewski, J. Bernauer, W. Bertozzi +64
We give a short overview of the DarkLight detector concept which is designed to search for a heavy photon A' with a mass in the range 10 MeV/c^2 < m(A') < 90 MeV/c^2 and which deca…
