Energy Calibration and Performance of HPGe Detectors in the LEGEND-200 Experiment

The LEGEND Collaboration, H. Acharya, M. Agostini +259

This paper describes the energy scale procedures and germanium detectors performance in the LEGEND-200 experiment, a critical component for the first unblinding in the search for n…

Pulseshape discrimination against low-energy Ar-39 beta decays in liquid argon with 4.5 tonne-years of DEAP-3600 data

The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +126

The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from Ar b…

Direct Measurement of the Ar Half-life from 3.4 Years of Data with the DEAP-3600 Detector

DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +114

The half-life of Ar is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector located 2 km underground at SNOLAB. Between 2016 and 2020, DEAP-3600 used a target mass of (3269 24) kg of…

SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range

The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…

Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon

The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328

Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…

Constraints on dark matter-nucleon effective couplings in the presence of kinematically distinct halo substructures using the DEAP-3600 detector

P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, C. E. Bina +81

DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon detector aiming to directly detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), located at SNOLAB (Sudbury, Canada). After analyzing data…
