Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
Construction of precision wire readout planes for the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND)
R. Acciarri, C. Adams, C. Andreopoulos +192
The Short-Baseline Near Detector time projection chamber is unique in the design of its charge readout planes. These anode plane assemblies (APAs) have been fabricated and assemble…
Exploring low-energy neutrino physics with the Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE)
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou, Carla Bonifazi +30
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) uses low-noise fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs) with the goal of measuring low-energy recoils from coheren…
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…
A measurement of the ionization efficiency of nuclear recoils in silicon
F. Izraelevitch, D. Amidei, A. Aprahamian +26
We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform…
The CONNIE experiment
CONNIE Collaboration, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, X. Bertou +28
The CONNIE experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs as particle detectors in an attempt to measure for the first time the Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Elastic Scattering…
Results of the engineering run of the Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE)
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, X. Bertou, C. Bonifazi +25
The CONNIE detector prototype is operating at a distance of 30 m from the core of a 3.8 GW nuclear reactor with the goal of establishing Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) as…
The DAMIC dark matter experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment uses high resistivity, scientific grade CCDs to search for dark matter. The CCD's low electronic noise allows an unprecedently low energy…
Status of the DAMIC direct dark matter search experiment
DAMIC Collaboration, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +31
The DAMIC experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for dark matter particles. With an energy threshold 50 eV, and excellent energy and spatial r…
DAMIC at SNOLAB
Alvaro Chavarria, Javier Tiffenberg, Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo +19
We introduce the fully-depleted charge-coupled device (CCD) as a particle detector. We demonstrate its low energy threshold operation, capable of detecting ionizing energy depositi…
Charge Coupled Devices for detection of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering
Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Juan Estrada, Gustavo Cancelo +3
This article details the potential for using Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) to detect low-energy neutrinos through their coherent scattering with nuclei. The detection of neutrinos t…
Plasma effect in Silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs)
Juan Estrada, Jorge Molina, J. Blostein +1
Plasma effect is observed in CCDs exposed to heavy ionizing alpha-particles with energies in the range 0.5 - 5.5 MeV. The results obtained for the size of the charge clusters recon…
