Ionization yield measurement in a germanium CDMSlite detector using photo-neutron sources

SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126

Two photo-neutron sources, YBe and SbBe, have been used to investigate the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in the CDMSlite germanium detectors by the…

Investigating the sources of low-energy events in a SuperCDMS-HVeV detector

SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126

Recent experiments searching for sub-GeV/ dark matter have observed event excesses close to their respective energy thresholds. Although specific to the individual technologie…

Constraints on dark photons and axion-like particles from SuperCDMS Soudan

SuperCDMS Collaboration, T. Aralis, T. Aramaki +104

We present an analysis of electron recoils in cryogenic germanium detectors operated during the SuperCDMS Soudan experiment. The data are used to set new constraints on the axioele…

First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV

M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137

We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
