Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM production for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a novel liquid argon dark matter detector currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclear…
Production of GEM-like structures using laser-cutting techniques
L. M. Ramos, A. F. V. Cortez, M. Kuźniak +5
To enhance the ionization yield of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC) used in dark matter and neutrino experiments it was proposed the use of dopants in LAr, with ioniz…
Low-threshold response of a scintillating xenon bubble chamber to nuclear and electronic recoils
E. Alfonso-Pita, E. Behnke, M. Bressler +29
A device filled with pure xenon first demonstrated the ability to operate simultaneously as a bubble chamber and scintillation detector in 2017. Initial results from data taken at…
3Dπ: Three-Dimensional Positron Imaging, A Novel Total-Body PET Scanner Using Xenon-Doped Liquid Argon Scintillator
Azam Zabihi, Xinran Li, Alejandro Ramirez +9
Objective: This paper introduces a novel PET imaging methodology called 3-dimensional positron imaging (3Dπ), which integrates total-body (TB) coverage, time-of-flight (TOF) techno…
Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
G4CASCADE: A data-driven implementation of (n, ) cascades in Geant4
Leo Weimer, Emma Ellingwood, Otis Fischer +2
De-excitation cascades from neutron captures form a dominant background to MeV-scale signals. The Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit is widely used to model backgrounds in n…
DarkSide-20k sensitivity to light dark matter particles
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +310
The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c. This was demons…
Relative Measurement and Extrapolation of the Scintillation Quenching Factor of -Particles in Liquid Argon using DEAP-3600 Data
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. Alpízar-Venegas +101
The knowledge of scintillation quenching of -particles plays a paramount role in understanding -induced backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid argon-based direct…
Batch VUV4 Characterization for the SBC-LAr10 scintillating bubble chamber
H. Hawley-Herrera, E. Alfonso-Pita, E. Behnke +28
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration purchased 32 Hamamatsu VUV4 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for use in SBC-LAr10, a bubble chamber containing 10~kg of liquid…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
The DEAP-3600 liquid argon optical model and NEST updates
Shawn Westerdale
As liquid argon (LAr) detectors are made at progressively larger sizes, accurate models of LAr optical properties become increasingly important for simulating light transport, unde…
