Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Direct method for the quantitative analysis of surface contamination on ultra-low background materials from exposure to dust
M. L. di Vacri, I. J. Arnquist, S. Scorza +2
In this work we present a method for the direct determination of contaminant fallout rates on material surfaces from exposure to dust. Naturally occurring radionuclides K-40, Th-23…
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…
Measurement of neutron-proton capture in the SNO+ water phase
The SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +130
The SNO+ experiment collected data as a low-threshold water Cherenkov detector from September 2017 to July 2019. Measurements of the 2.2-MeV produced by neutron capture on hydr…
In-situ calibration of the single-photoelectron charge response of the IceCube photomultiplier tubes
The IceCube Collaboration
We describe an improved in-situ calibration of the single-photoelectron charge distributions for each of the in-ice Hamamatsu Photonics R7081-02[MOD] photomultiplier tubes in the I…
The liquid-argon scintillation pulseshape in DEAP-3600
The DEAP collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +98
DEAP-3600 is a liquid-argon scintillation detector looking for dark matter. Scintillation events in the liquid argon (LAr) are registered by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and p…
