First Constraints from DAMIC-M on Sub-GeV Dark-Matter Particles Interacting with Electrons
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, D. Baxter +42
We report constraints on sub-GeV dark matter particles interacting with electrons from the first underground operation of DAMIC-M detectors. The search is performed with an integra…
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…
Characterization of the background spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, I. Arnquist +31
We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth and energy r…
Results on Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from a 11 kg d Target Exposure of DAMIC at SNOLAB (ICRC2021 Proceedings)
Michelangelo Traina
Experimental efforts of the last decades have been unsuccessful in detecting WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) in the 10-to-10 GeV/ range, thus motivating the s…
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…
