Opportunities and challenges to study solar neutrinos with a Q-Pix pixel readout

M. Á. García-Peris, G. Ruiz, S. Kubota +24

The study of solar neutrinos presents significant opportunities in astrophysics, nuclear physics, and particle physics. However, the low-energy nature of these neutrinos introduces…

A clear case for dust obscuration of the lunar retroreflectors

Sanchit Sabhlok, James B. R. Battat, Nicholas R. Colmenares +2

The passive retroreflector arrays placed on the moon by Apollo 11, 14 and 15 astronauts continue to produce valuable Earth-Moon range measurements that enable high-precision tests…

The Role of Low-energy (< 20 eV) Secondary Electrons in the Extraterrestrial Synthesis of Prebiotic Molecules

Qin Tong Wu, Hannah Anderson, Aurland K. Watkins +6

We demonstrate for the first time that Galactic cosmic rays with energies as high as 1e10 eV can trigger a cascade of low-energy (< 20 eV) secondary electrons that could be a signi…

Demonstrating the Q-Pix front-end using discrete OpAmp and CMOS transistors

Peng Miao, Jonathan Asaadi, James B. R. Battat +7

Using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Operational Amplifiers (OpAmps) and Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, we present a demonstration of the Q-Pix front-…

CYGNUS: Feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos

S. E. Vahsen, C. A. J. O'Hare, W. A. Lynch +16

Now that conventional weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter searches are approaching the neutrino floor, there has been a resurgence of interest in detectors with…

APOLLO clock performance and normal point corrections

Y. Liang, T. W. Murphy, N. R. Colmenares +1

The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) has produced a large volume of high-quality lunar laser ranging (LLR) data since it began operating in 2006. For…

First background-free limit from a directional dark matter experiment: results from a fully fiducialised DRIFT detector

J. B. R. Battat, J. Brack, E. Daw +28

The addition of O2 to gas mixtures in time projection chambers containing CS2 has recently been shown to produce multiple negative ions that travel at slightly different velocities…
