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…
Photoluminescence response of acrylic (PMMA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to ultraviolet light
G. R. Araujo, T. Pollmann, A. Ulrich
Some publications indicate that poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) exhibit low levels of photoluminesence (fluorescence and/or phosphorescence) whe…
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…
Database support of detector operation and data analysis in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter experiment
T. R. Pollmann, B. Smith
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for dark matter interactions on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. Over nearly a decade, from start of detector construction through the end of the da…
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…
Estimating the efficiency turn-on curve for a constant-threshold trigger without a calibration dataset
Tina R. Pollmann
Many particle physics experiments use constant threshold triggers, where the trigger threshold is in an online estimator that can be calculated quickly by the trigger module. Offli…
