The Darkside-20k Data Acquisition System
Fabio Acerbi, Pushparaj Adhikari, Paolo Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a WIMP search experiment using liquid argon as a target, designed to perform a background-free search for dark matter with unprecedented sensitivity, and is current…
Monte Carlo Simulations of Trapped Ultracold Neutrons in the UCNτ Experiment
Nathan Callahan, Chen-Yu Liu, Francisco Gonzalez +37
In the UCNτ experiment, ultracold neutrons (UCN) are confined by magnetic fields and the Earth's gravitational field. Field-trapping mitigates the problem of UCN loss on material s…
Electroluminescence pulse shape and electron diffusion in liquid argon measured in a dual-phase TPC
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +163
We report the measurement of the longitudinal diffusion constant in liquid argon with the DarkSide-50 dual-phase time projection chamber. The measurement is performed at drift elec…
DarkSide-20k: A 20 Tonne Two-Phase LAr TPC for Direct Dark Matter Detection at LNGS
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +282
Building on the successful experience in operating the DarkSide-50 detector, the DarkSide Collaboration is going to construct DarkSide-20k, a direct WIMP search detector using a tw…
Simulation of argon response and light detection in the DarkSide-50 dual phase TPC
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +147
A Geant4-based Monte Carlo package named G4DS has been developed to simulate the response of DarkSide-50, an experiment operating since 2013 at LNGS, designed to detect WIMP intera…
Cryogenic Characterization of FBK RGB-HD SiPMs
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +268
We report on the cryogenic characterization of Red Green Blue - High Density (RGB-HD) SiPMs developed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) as part of the DarkSide program of dark matt…
Effect of Low Electric Fields on Alpha Scintillation Light Yield in Liquid Argon
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +158
Measurements were made of scintillation light yield of alpha particles from the Rn decay chain within the DarkSide-50 liquid argon time projection chamber. The light yield…
CALIS - a CALibration Insertion System for the DarkSide-50 dark matter search experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +162
This paper describes the design, fabrication, commissioning and use of a CALibration source Insertion System (CALIS) in the DarkSide-50 direct dark matter search experiment. CALIS…
