Sensitivity of alkali halide scintillating calorimeters with particle identification to investigate the DAMA dark matter detection claim
Patrick Nadeau, Michael Clark, P. C. F. Di Stefano +4
Scintillating calorimeters are cryogenic detectors combining a measurement of scintillation with one of phonons to provide particle identification. In view of developing alkali hal…
Strange quark contribution to nucleon form factors
Ronald Babich, Richard Brower, Michael Clark +3
We discuss methods for the calculation of disconnected diagrams and their application to various form factors of the nucleon. In particular, we present preliminary results for the…
Bowen-York Type Initial Data for Binaries with Neutron Stars
Michael Clark, Pablo Laguna
A new approach to construct initial data for binary systems with neutron star components is introduced. The approach is a generalization of the puncture initial data method for bin…
Direct Detection Limits on Heavy Dark Matter
Michael Clark, Amanda Depoian, Bahaa Elshimy +4
Multiply-interacting massive particles (MIMPs) are heavy (>10^10 GeV/c^2) dark matter particles that interact strongly with regular matter, but may have evaded detection due to the…
Strange quark content of the nucleon
Ronald Babich, Richard Brower, Michael Clark +3
We discuss the calculation of disconnected diagrams needed for determining the strange quark content of the nucleon on the lattice. We present results for the strange scalar form f…
Correlated Single- and Few-Electron Backgrounds Milliseconds after Interactions in Dual-Phase Liquid Xenon Time Projection Chambers
Abigail Kopec, Amanda L. Baxter, Michael Clark +4
We characterize single- and few-electron backgrounds that are observed in dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chambers at timescales greatly exceeding a maximum drift time afte…
