First observation of isolated nuclear recoils following neutron capture for dark matter calibration
A. N. Villano, M. Fritts, N. Mast +4
Low-energy nuclear recoils (NRs) are hard to measure because they produce few e/h pairs in solids -- i.e. they have low "ionization yield". A silicon detector was exposed…
Solid State Detectors and Tracking for Snowmass
A. Affolder, A. Apresyan, S. Worm +132
Tracking detectors are of vital importance for collider-based high energy physics (HEP) experiments. The primary purpose of tracking detectors is the precise reconstruction of char…
Neutron capture-induced silicon nuclear recoils for dark matter and CENS
K. Harris, A. Gevorgian, A. J. Biffl +1
Following neutron capture in a material there will be prompt nuclear recoils in addition to the gamma cascade. The nuclear recoils that are left behind in materials are generally b…
Search for TeV Counterparts in Gamma-Ray Bursts
P. J. Boyle, J. H. Buckley, A. M. Burdett +25
Based on BACODINE network notification the Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope has been used to search for the delayed TeV counterpart to BATSE-detected gamma-ray bursts. In th…
Light Dark Matter Constraints from SuperCDMS HVeV Detectors Operated Underground with an Anticoincidence Event Selection
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +139
This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in t…
Neutron capture-induced nuclear recoils as background for CENS~measurements at reactors
A. J. Biffl, A. Gevorgian, K. Harris +1
Nuclear reactors represent a promising neutrino source for CENS (coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering) searches. However, reactor sites also come with high ambient neut…
The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS)
S. M. Bradbury, I. H. Bond, A. C. Breslin +32
We give an overview of the current status and scientific goals of VERITAS, a proposed hexagonal array of seven 10 m aperture imaging Cherenkov telescopes. The selected site is Mont…
