Electromagnetic Backgrounds and Potassium-42 Activity in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Detector
R. Ajaj, G. R. Araujo, M. Batygov +88
The DEAP-3600 experiment is searching for WIMP dark matter with a 3.3 tonne single phase liquid argon (LAr) target, located 2.1 km underground at SNOLAB. The experimental signature…
A fast-switching magnet serving a spallation-driven ultracold neutron source
S. Ahmed, E. Altiere, T. Andalib +47
A fast-switching, high-repetition-rate magnet and power supply have been developed for and operated at TRIUMF, to deliver a proton beam to the new ultracold neutron (UCN) facility.…
Characterization of SiPM Avalanche Triggering Probabilities
G. Gallina, F. Retiere, P. Giampa +8
Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) are detectors sensitive to single photons that are used to detect scintillation and Cherenkov light in a variety of physics and medical-imaging ap…
Characterization of the Hamamatsu VUV4 MPPCs for nEXO
G. Gallina, P. Giampa, F. Retiere +148
In this paper we report on the characterization of the Hamamatsu VUV4 (S/N: S13370-6152) Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) sensitive Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) as part of the develo…
Search for dark matter with a 231-day exposure of liquid argon using DEAP-3600 at SNOLAB
R. Ajaj, P. -A. Amaudruz, G. R. Araujo +99
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) direct-detection dark matter experiment, operating 2 km underground at SNOLAB (Sudbury, Canada). The detector consists of 3279 kg of…
The Low-Radioactivity Underground Argon Workshop: A workshop synopsis
Thomas Alexander, Henning O. Back, Walter Bonivento +22
In response to the growing need for low-radioactivity argon, community experts and interested parties came together for a 2-day workshop to discuss the worldwide low-radioactivity…
