In-situ characterization of the Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier tubes used in the DEAP-3600 experiment
DEAP Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +99
The Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier-tube (PMT) is a novel high-quantum efficiency PMT. It is currently used in the DEAP-3600 dark matter detector and is of significant interest…
A Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry Parameters in $Î_{c}^{0}\to \X^{-}Ï^{+}$
S. Chan, CLEO Collaboration
Using the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we have measured the decay asymmetry parameter in the decay . We find $α_{Î_c…
Conservation rules for entanglement transfer between qubits
S. Chan, M. D. Reid, Z. Ficek
We consider an entangled but non-interacting qubit pair a_{1} and b_{1} that are independently coupled to a set of local qubit systems, a_{I} and b_{J}, of 0-bit value, respectivel…
Gravitational Microlensing Results from Macho
W. Sutherland, C. Alcock, R. Allsman +13
We provide a status report on our search for dark matter in our Galaxy in the form of massive compact halo objects (MACHOs), using gravitational microlensing of background stars. T…
Entanglement evolution of two remote and non-identical Jaynes-Cummings atoms
S. Chan, M. D. Reid, Z. Ficek
A detailed treatment of the entanglement dynamics of two distant but non-identical systems is presented. We study the entanglement evolution of two remote atoms interacting indepen…
Possible Gravitational Microlensing of a Star in the Large Magellanic Cloud
C. Alcock, C. W. Akerlof, R. A. Allsman +15
There is now abundant evidence for the presence of large quantities of unseen matter surrounding normal galaxies, including our own. The nature of this `dark matter' is unk…
Design and Construction of the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Detector
P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Baldwin, M. Batygov +106
The Dark matter Experiment using Argon Pulse-shape discrimination (DEAP) has been designed for a direct detection search for particle dark matter using a single-phase liquid argon…
The New Small Wheel electronics
G. Iakovidis, L. Levinson, Y. Afik +99
The increase in luminosity, and consequent higher backgrounds, of the LHC upgrades require improved rejection of fake tracks in the forward region of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer. T…
Proposed low-energy absolute calibration of nuclear recoils in a dual-phase noble element TPC using D-D neutron scattering kinematics
J. R. Verbus, C. A. Rhyne, D. C. Malling +12
We propose a new technique for the calibration of nuclear recoils in large noble element dual-phase time projection chambers used to search for WIMP dark matter in the local galact…
Probable Gravitational Microlensing towards the Galatic Bulge
C. Alcock, R. Allsman, T. Axelrod +13
The MACHO project carries out regular photometric monitoring of millions of stars in the Magellanic Clouds and Galactic Bulge, to search for very rare gravitational microlensing ev…
First results from the DEAP-3600 dark matter search with argon at SNOLAB
3600 Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Baldwin +102
This paper reports the first results of a direct dark matter search with the DEAP-3600 single-phase liquid argon (LAr) detector. The experiment was performed 2 km underground at SN…
