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…
(P)reheating Effects of the Kähler Moduli Inflation I Model
Islam Khan, Aaron C. Vincent, Guy Worthey
We investigate reheating in the string-theory-motivated Kähler Moduli Inflation I (KMII) potential, coupled to a light scalar field and produce constraints and forecasts based…
Towards convergence of turbulent dynamo amplification in cosmological simulations of galaxies
Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Julien Devriendt, Adrianne Slyz +3
Our understanding of the process through which magnetic fields reached their observed strengths in present-day galaxies remains incomplete. One of the advocated solutions is a turb…
Simulation of energy transport by dark matter scattering in stars
Hannah Banks, Siyam Ansari, Aaron C. Vincent +1
Asymmetric dark matter (ADM) that is captured in stars can act as an efficient conductor of heat. Small ADM-induced changes in a star's temperature gradient are known to alter neut…
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 of cryogenic calorimeters to measure the spectral shape of In-115 beta decay
E. Celi, Z. Galazka, M. Laubenstein +4
The spectral shape of forbidden beta-decays is a crucial benchmark for nuclear physics calculations and has important implications also for astroparticle physics experiments. Among…
Post-Newtonian Waveforms from Spinning Scattering Amplitudes
Yilber Fabian Bautista, Nils Siemonsen
We derive the classical gravitational radiation from an aligned spin binary black hole on \textit{closed} orbits, using a dictionary built from the 5-point QFT scattering amplitude…
Search for rare alpha and double beta decays of Yb isotopes to excited levels of daughter nuclei
M. Laubenstein, B. Lehnert, S. S. Nagorny +1
A search for alpha and double beta decays of ytterbium isotopes was performed with an ultra-low background high purity germanium detector at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (Ital…
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…
Scattering searches for dark matter in subhalos: neutron stars, cosmic rays, and old rocks
Joseph Bramante, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Nirmal Raj
In many cosmologies dark matter clusters on sub-kiloparsec scales and forms compact subhalos, in which the majority of Galactic dark matter could reside. Null results in direct det…
Solar Kaluza-Klein axion search with NEWS-G
G collaboration, Q. Arnaud, L. Balogh +39
Kaluza-Klein (KK) axions appear in theories with extra dimensions as higher mass, significantly shorter lifetime, excitations of the Peccei-Quinn axion. When produced in the Sun, t…
Accelerating Composite Dark Matter Discovery with Nuclear Recoils and the Migdal Effect
Javier F. Acevedo, Joseph Bramante, Alan Goodman
Large composite dark matter states source a scalar binding field that, when coupled to Standard Model nucleons, provides a potential under which nuclei recoil and accelerate to ene…
First direct detection constraints on Planck-scale mass dark matter with multiple-scatter signatures using the DEAP-3600 detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, M. Alpízar-Venegas +94
Dark matter particles with Planck-scale mass () arise in well-motivated theories and could be produced by several cosmological mechanisms. Using a blin…
Thermal WIMPs and the Scale of New Physics: Global Fits of Dirac Dark Matter Effective Field Theories
The GAMBIT Collaboration, Peter Athron, Neal Avis Kozar +24
We assess the status of a wide class of WIMP dark matter (DM) models in light of the latest experimental results using the global fitting framework . We perform a…
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…
Pushing the frontier of WIMPy inelastic dark matter: journey to the end of the periodic table
Ningqiang Song, Serge Nagorny, Aaron C. Vincent
We explore the reach of low-background experiments made of small quantities of heavy nuclear isotopes in probing the parameter space of inelastic dark matter that is kinematically…
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…
