Background Rejection in Highly Pixelated Solid-State Detectors
Alvaro E. Chavarria
Highly pixelated solid-state detectors offer outstanding capabilities in the identification and suppression of backgrounds from natural radioactivity. We present the background-ide…
The low-energy spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB
Alvaro E. Chavarria
The DAMIC experiment employs large-area, thick charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to search for the interactions of low-mass dark matter particles in the galactic halo with silicon atom…
Even Lighter Particle Dark Matter
Alvaro E. Chavarria
We report on recent progress in the search for dark matter particles with masses from 1 MeV to 1 GeV. Several dark matter candidates in this mass range are expected to generate mea…
Snowmass 2021 White Paper: The Selena Neutrino Experiment
A. E. Chavarria, C. Galbiati, B. Hernandez-Molinero +8
Imaging devices made from an ionization target layer of amorphous selenium (aSe) coupled to a silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel array for charge r…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
The Oscura Experiment
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Fabricio Alcalde Bessia, Nicolas Avalos +41
The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two electr…
