Measurement of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs of the DAMIC experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
We present measurements of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) used by the DAMIC experiment to search for dark matter particles.…
First Direct-Detection Constraints on eV-Scale Hidden-Photon Dark Matter with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +35
We present direct detection constraints on the absorption of hidden-photon dark matter with particle masses in the range 1.2-30 eV with the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB. Unde…
The DAMIC dark matter experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment uses high resistivity, scientific grade CCDs to search for dark matter. The CCD's low electronic noise allows an unprecedently low energy…
Status of the DAMIC direct dark matter search experiment
DAMIC Collaboration, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +31
The DAMIC experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for dark matter particles. With an energy threshold 50 eV, and excellent energy and spatial r…
Results of the engineering run of the Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE)
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, X. Bertou, C. Bonifazi +25
The CONNIE detector prototype is operating at a distance of 30 m from the core of a 3.8 GW nuclear reactor with the goal of establishing Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) as…
Search for low-mass WIMPs in a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +35
We present results of a dark matter search performed with a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at the SNOLAB underground laboratory. We measure the energy spectrum of ioni…
