Temperature-dependent fluorescence emission spectra of acrylic (PMMA) and tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) excited with UV light

J. M. Corning, G. R. Araujo, P. C. F. Di Stefano +3

Acrylic (poly(methyl methacrylate) or PMMA) is commonly used as a vessel to hold scintillating liquids in rare-event searches. Certain types of PMMA can fluoresce with a low effici…

Neutrino Physics with an Opaque Detector

A. Cabrera, A. Abusleme, J. dos Anjos +59

In 1956 Reines & Cowan discovered the neutrino using a liquid scintillator detector. The neutrinos interacted with the scintillator, producing light that propagated across transpar…

Contact-less phonon detection with massive cryogenic absorbers

Johannes Goupy, Jules Colas, Martino Calvo +8

We have developed a contact-less technique for the real time measurement of a-thermal (Cooper-pair breaking) phonons in an absorber held at sub-Kelvin temperatures. In particular,…

A Test of Bolometric Properties of Tm-containing Crystals as a Perspective Detector for the Solar Axion Search

E. Bertoldo, A. V. Derbin, I. S. Drachnev +13

The Tm nuclide has first nuclear level at 8.41 keV with magnetic type transition to the ground state and, therefore, can be used as a target nucleus for the search of reson…

Data-Driven Modeling of Electron Recoil Nucleation in PICO CF Bubble Chambers

C. Amole, M. Ardid, I. J. Arnquist +76

The primary advantage of moderately superheated bubble chamber detectors is their simultaneous sensitivity to nuclear recoils from WIMP dark matter and insensitivity to electron re…
