Reconstructing High-Fidelity Light Yield Maps for Surface LArTPCs Using Crossing Cosmic Muons
Alex Heindel, Wei Shi, Angelo Ralaikoto +5
Photon detection systems in liquid argon time projection chambers provide prompt scintillation light information that can improve triggering, timing, calorimetry, and interaction r…
Physics Prospects with MeV Neutrino-Argon Charged Current Interactions using Enhanced Photon Detection in Future LArTPCs
Wei Shi, Xuyang Ning, Daniel Pershey +5
We investigate MeV-scale electron neutrino charged current interactions in a liquid argon time projection chamber equipped with an enhanced photon detection system. Using simulatio…
Search for reactor-produced millicharged particles with Skipper-CCDs at the CONNIE and Atucha-II experiments
Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Nicolas Avalos, Pablo Bellino +37
Millicharged particles, proposed by various extensions of the standard model, can be created in pairs by high-energy photons within nuclear reactors and can interact electromagneti…
Searches for CEνNS and Physics beyond the Standard Model using Skipper-CCDs at CONNIE
Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Nicolas Avalos, Xavier Bertou +31
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) aims to detect the coherent scattering (CENS) of reactor antineutrinos off silicon nuclei using thick fully-deplete…
A measurement of absolute efficiency of the ARAPUCA photon detector in Liquid Argon
Dante Totani, Gustavo Cancelo, Flavio Cavanna +8
In the Fall of 2017, two photon detector designs for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Far Detector were installed and tested in the TallBo liquid argon (LAr) cryosta…

The use of an infrared sensor as a new alternative to measure position as a function of time in kinematic experiments was investigated using a microcontroller as data acquisition a…
Propagation and energy deposition of cosmic rays' muons on terrestrial environments
Franciole Marinho, Laura Paulucci, Douglas Galante
Earth is constantly struck by radiation coming from the interstellar medium. The very low energy end of the spectrum is shielded by the geomagnetic field but charged particles with…
Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator
LHCb VELO Group, R. Aaij, A. Affolder +101
The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment. The performance of the detector during the fi…
