Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
ZnO-based scintillating bolometers: New prospects to study double beta decay of Zn
A. Armatol, B. Broerman, L. Dumoulin +15
The first detailed study on the performance of a ZnO-based cryogenic scintillating bolometer as a detector to search for rare processes in zinc isotopes was performed. A 7.2 g ZnO…
Precision Measurement of the Specific Activity of Ar in Atmospheric Argon with the DEAP-3600 Detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, M. Alpízar-Venegas +147
The specific activity of the beta decay of Ar in atmospheric argon is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector. DEAP-3600, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, uses a total of (…
Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of poly(methyl methacrylate) compared to 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene down to 4 K
E. Ellingwood, H. Benmansour, Q. Hars +16
Several particle-physics experiments use poly(methyl methacrylate) (a.k.a. PMMA or acrylic) vessels to contain liquid scintillators. Superluminal charged particles emitted from rad…
Fluorescence of pyrene-doped polystyrene films from room temperature down to 4 K for wavelength-shifting applications
H. Benmansour, E. Ellingwood, Q. Hars +13
In liquid argon-based particle detectors, slow wavelength shifters (WLSs) could be used alongside the common, nanosecond scale, WLS tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) for background mitig…
Development and characterization of a slow wavelength shifting coating for background rejection in liquid argon detectors
D. Gallacher, A. Leonhardt, H. Benmansour +15
We describe a technique, applicable to liquid-argon-based dark matter detectors, allowing for discrimination of alpha-decays in detector regions with incomplete light collection fr…
Pulseshape discrimination against low-energy Ar-39 beta decays in liquid argon with 4.5 tonne-years of DEAP-3600 data
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +126
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from Ar b…
Pb measurements at the André E. Lalonde AMS Laboratory for the radioassay of materials used in rare event search detectors
Carlos Vivo-Vilches, Benjamin Weiser, Xiaolei Zhao +3
Naturally occurring radionuclide Pb (=22.2 y) is an important source of background in rare event searches, such as neutrinoless double- decay and dark matter di…
