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…

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…
