Protective Measurement -- a new quantum measurement paradigm: detailed description of the first realisation

Enrico Rebufello, Fabrizio Piacentini, Alessio Avella +9

We present a detailed description of the experiment realising for the first time a protective measurement, a novel measurement protocol which combines weak interactions with a ``pr…

SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range

The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…

Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon

The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328

Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…

Measuring incompatible observables of a single photon

F. Piacentini, M. P. Levi, A. Avella +9

One of the most intriguing aspects of Quantum Mechanics is the impossibility of measuring at the same time observables corresponding to non-commuting operators. This impossibility…
