Investigating Optical Coupling Material Candidates in NaI(Tl) Detectors for the SABRE-North Dark Matter Experiment
Chemseddine Ananna, Gabriella Cataldi, Davide D'Angelo +21
Direct dark matter detection with NaI(Tl) scintillators requires ultra-low-background materials. Silicone optical pads can couple NaI(Tl) crystals to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) i…
Application of zone refining to the development of NaI(Tl) detectors for SABRE North
C. Ananna, F. B. Armani, G. Cataldi +23
The SABRE North experiment is developing ultra-high radiopurity NaI(Tl) detectors to investigate dark matter. To achieve this, SABRE North utilizes the technique called zone refini…
Performance of the front-end electronics of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter barrel for the High-Luminosity LHC
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Group
The performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter upgraded readout electronics, developed for the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC, is discussed. Data collected in two beam te…
Autoencoder-based Anomaly Detection System for Online Data Quality Monitoring of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
The CMS ECAL Collaboration
The CMS detector is a general-purpose apparatus that detects high-energy collisions produced at the LHC. Online Data Quality Monitoring of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter is a…
Comparative characterization study of LYSO:Ce crystals for timing applications
F. M. Addesa, P. Barria, R. Bianco +28
Cerium-doped Lutetium-Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate (LYSO:Ce)is one of the most widely used Cerium-doped Lutetium based scintillation crystals. Initially developed for medical detectors…
Performance of the SABRE detector module in a purely passive shielding
F. Calaprice, J. B. Benziger, S. Copello +19
We present here a characterization of the low background NaI(Tl) crystal NaI-33 based on a period of almost one year of data taking (891 kgxdays exposure) in a detector configurati…
High sensitivity characterization of an ultra-high purity NaI(Tl) crystal scintillator with the SABRE proof-of-principle detector
F. Calaprice, S. Copello, I. Dafinei +23
We present new results on the radiopurity of a 3.4-kg NaI(Tl) crystal scintillator operated in the SABRE proof-of-principle detector setup. The amount of potassium contamination, d…
Characterization of SABRE crystal NaI-33 with direct underground counting
M. Antonello, I. J. Arnquist, E. Barberio +43
Ultra-pure NaI(Tl) crystals are the key element for a model-independent verification of the long standing DAMA result and a powerful means to search for the annual modulation signa…
Production of ultra-low radioactivity NaI(Tl) crystals for Dark Matter detectors
Y. Zhu, S. H. Yue, Z. W. Ge +13
Scintillating NaI(Tl) crystals are widely used in a large variety of experimental applications. However, for the use as Dark Matter (DM) detectors, such crystals demand a high leve…
Monte Carlo simulation of the SABRE PoP background
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +45
SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct dark matter search experiment based on an array of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals surrounded by a liquid scintillato…
The SABRE project and the SABRE PoP
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +46
SABRE aims to directly measure the annual modulation of the dark matter interaction rate with NaI(Tl) crystals. A modulation compatible with the standard hypothesis in which our Ga…
Performance of a Tungsten-Cerium Fluoride Sampling Calorimeter in High-Energy Electron Beam Tests
R. Becker, L. Bianchini, G. Dissertori +29
A prototype for a sampling calorimeter made out of cerium fluoride crystals interleaved with tungsten plates, and read out by wavelength-shifting fibres, has been exposed to beams…
Radiation hardness qualification of PbWO4 scintillation crystals for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Group, P. Adzic, N. Almeida +267
Ensuring the radiation hardness of PbWO4 crystals was one of the main priorities during the construction of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment at CERN. The produ…
