Spatial resolution studies with the BabyIAXO Micromegas prototype

A. Quintana, J. Castel, S. Cebrián +20

The spatial resolution of the Micromegas prototype developed for the BabyIAXO experiment was evaluated using a low-energy X-ray beam at the SOLEIL synchrotron facility. BabyIAXO, c…

Cosmogenic production of tritium in dark matter detectors

J. Amare, J. Castel, S. Cebrian +19

The direct detection of dark matter particles requires ultra-low background conditions at energies below a few tens of keV. Radioactive isotopes are produced via cosmogenic activat…
