The Darkside-20k Data Acquisition System
Fabio Acerbi, Pushparaj Adhikari, Paolo Agnes +289
The paper describes the data acquisition (DAQ) system for the DarkSide‑20k liquid‑argon dark‑matter detector, which uses continuous, trigger‑less digitisation of 2720 SiPM channels…
Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Dark Matter Search with the DEAP-3600 Detector using the Profile Likelihood Ratio Method
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +122
We present here a search for WIMP dark matter using 790.8 live-days of data collected with 3269 kg of liquid argon (1266 kg fiducial) by the DEAP-3600 detector at SNOLAB, using the…
DAMSA Experiment Conceptual Design White Paper
Prithak Bhattarai, Andrew Brandt, Alan Bross +41
DAMSA (DArk Messenger Searches at an Accelerator) is a novel short-baseline accelerator experiment aimed at probing short-lived physics processes, including searches for evidence o…
Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
Relative Measurement and Extrapolation of the Scintillation Quenching Factor of -Particles in Liquid Argon using DEAP-3600 Data
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. AlpÃzar-Venegas +101
The knowledge of scintillation quenching of -particles plays a paramount role in understanding -induced backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid argon-based dire…
