Precision measurement of Compton scattering in silicon with a skipper CCD for dark matter detection
D. Norcini, N. Castello-Mor, D. Baxter +41
Experiments aiming to directly detect dark matter through particle recoils can achieve energy thresholds of . In this regime, ionization signals from s…
A Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
J. Aalbers, K. Abe, V. Aerne +591
The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leadi…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Cosmogenic activation of silicon
R. Saldanha, R. Thomas, R. H. M. Tsang +10
The production of H, Be, and Na by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with silicon can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for rare eve…
Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering at the European Spallation Source
D. Baxter, J. I. Collar, P. Coloma +12
The European Spallation Source (ESS), presently well on its way to completion, will soon provide the most intense neutron beams for multi-disciplinary science. Fortuitously, it wil…
Measurement of low energy ionization signals from Compton scattering in a CCD dark matter detector
K. Ramanathan, A. Kavner, A. E. Chavarria +8
An important source of background in direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles are the energy deposits by small-angle scattering of environmental rays. We report detai…
