Cosmogenic Neutron Production at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
B. Aharmim, S. N. Ahmed, A. E. Anthony +128
Neutrons produced in nuclear interactions initiated by cosmic-ray muons present an irreducible background to many rare-event searches, even in detectors located deep underground. M…
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…
Measurement of neutron production in atmospheric neutrino interactions at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
SNO Collaboration, B. Aharmim, S. N. Ahmed +129
Neutron production in GeV-scale neutrino interactions is a poorly studied process. We have measured the neutron multiplicities in atmospheric neutrino interactions in the Sudbury N…
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…
