First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125
We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…
Ultra-trace analysis of U and Th in organic liquid scintillators with high sensitivity
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +63
Rare event searches demand extremely low background levels, necessitating ever-advancing screening techniques to enhance sensitivity. Liquid scintillators are highly attractive as…
Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144
Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
Fermionic sub-GeV Dark Matter from evaporating Primordial Black Holes at DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +125
We present a search for boosted dark matter from Primordial Black Holes (PBH) evaporation using the DarkSide-50 ionization-signal-only dataset corresponding to the experiment's ($1…
Fluorescence emission of the JUNO liquid scintillator
M. Beretta, F. Houria, F. Ferraro +65
JUNO is a huge neutrino detector that will use 20 kton of organic liquid scintillator as its detection medium. The scintillator is a mixture of linear alkyl benzene (LAB), 2.5 g/L…
Distillation and Stripping purification plants for JUNO liquid scintillator
C. Landini, M. Beretta, P. Lombardi +64
The optical and radiochemical purification of the scintillating liquid, which will fill the central detector of the JUNO experiment, plays a crucial role in achieving its scientifi…
