Rare K decay with implications for fundamental physics and geochronology
M. Stukel, L. Hariasz, P. C. F. Di Stefano +24
Potassium-40 is a widespread, naturally occurring isotope whose radioactivity impacts subatomic rare-event searches, nuclear structure theory, and estimated geological ages. A pred…
A novel experimental system for the KDK measurement of the K decay scheme relevant for rare event searches
M. Stukel, B. C. Rasco, N. T. Brewer +26
Potassium-40 (K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The decay products are prominent backgrounds for many rare event searches, including those involvi…
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…
Temperature-dependent fluorescence emission spectra of acrylic (PMMA) and tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) excited with UV light
J. M. Corning, G. R. Araujo, P. C. F. Di Stefano +3
Acrylic (poly(methyl methacrylate) or PMMA) is commonly used as a vessel to hold scintillating liquids in rare-event searches. Certain types of PMMA can fluoresce with a low effici…
First Dark Matter Constraints from a SuperCDMS Single-Charge Sensitive Detector
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, T. Aralis +99
We present the first limits on inelastic electron-scattering dark matter and dark photon absorption using a prototype SuperCDMS detector having a charge resolution of 0.1 electron-…
