The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…
Investigating Neutron Scattering in a Spherical Proportional Counter: A Tabletop Experiment
N. Panchal, L. Balogh, J. -F. Caron +2
In this paper, we report on a tabletop experiment studying neutron scattering in a Spherical Proportional Counter using an Am-Be source. Systematic studies were carried out to inve…
The NEWS-G detector at SNOLAB
L. Balogh, C. Beaufort, A. Brossard +38
The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration intends to achieve Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection using Spherical Propo…
Measurements of the ionization efficiency of protons in methane
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This d…
Quenching factor measurements of neon nuclei in neon gas
L. Balogh, C. Beaufort, A. Brossard +47
The NEWS-G collaboration uses Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs) to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In this paper, we report the first measurements of…
Copper electroplating for background suppression in the NEWS-G experiment
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +47
New Experiments with Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) is a dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate at SNOLAB (Canada). Similar to other rare-event searches, the materials use…
