An integrated online radioassay data storage and analytics tool for nEXO
R. H. M. Tsang, A. Piepke, S. Al Kharusi +157
Large-scale low-background detectors are increasingly used in rare-event searches as experimental collaborations push for enhanced sensitivity. However, building such detectors, in…
First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
A Stress Induced Source of Phonon Bursts and Quasiparticle Poisoning
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Andreas Biekert, Raymond Bunker +43
The performance of superconducting qubits is degraded by a poorly characterized set of energy sources breaking the Cooper pairs responsible for superconductivity, creating a condit…
A Strategy for Low-Mass Dark Matter Searches with Cryogenic Detectors in the SuperCDMS SNOLAB Facility
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +125
The SuperCDMS Collaboration is currently building SuperCDMS SNOLAB, a dark matter search focused on nucleon-coupled dark matter in the 1-5 GeV/c mass range. Looking to the futu…
Ionization yield measurement in a germanium CDMSlite detector using photo-neutron sources
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126
Two photo-neutron sources, YBe and SbBe, have been used to investigate the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in the CDMSlite germanium detectors by the…
Production Rate Measurement of Tritium and Other Cosmogenic Isotopes in Germanium with CDMSlite
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, T. Aralis +95
Future direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles with germanium detectors, such as SuperCDMS SNOLAB, are expected to be limited by backgrounds from radioactive isotopes ac…
Energy Loss Due to Defect Formation from Pb Recoils in SuperCDMS Germanium Detectors
Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki +94
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystal…
Nuclear-recoil energy scale in CDMS II silicon dark-matter detectors
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +106
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment aims to detect dark matter particles that elastically scatter from nuclei in semiconductor detectors. The resulting nuclear-re…
Projected Sensitivity of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +93
SuperCDMS SNOLAB will be a next-generation experiment aimed at directly detecting low-mass (< 10 GeV/c) particles that may constitute dark matter by using cryogenic detectors o…
