Study of cosmogenic activation above ground for the DarkSide-20k experiment

20k Collaboration

The activation of materials due to exposure to cosmic rays may become an important background source for experiments investigating rare event phenomena. DarkSide-20k, currently und…

Improving ANAIS-112 sensitivity to DAMA/LIBRA signal with machine learning techniques

I. Coarasa, J. Apilluelo, J. Amaré +12

The DAMA/LIBRA observation of an annual modulation in the detection rate compatible with that expected for dark matter particles from the galactic halo has accumulated evidence for…

Quenching Factor consistency across several NaI(Tl) crystals

D. Cintas, P. An, C. Awe +11

Testing the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation result independently of dark matter particle and halo models has been a challenge for twenty years. Using the same target material, NaI(Tl)…

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…

ANAIS-112 sensitivity in the search for dark matter annual modulation

I. Coarasa, J. Amaré, S. Cebrián +11

The annual modulation measured by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment can be explained by the interaction of dark matter WIMPs in NaI(Tl) scintillator detectors. Other experiments, with diff…

Bulk NaI(Tl) scintillation low energy events selection with the ANAIS-0 module

C. Cuesta, J. Amaré, S. Cebrián +11

Dark matter particles scattering off some target nuclei are expected to deposit very small energies in form of nuclear recoils (below 100 keV). Because of the low scintillation eff…
