Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144
Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
Long-term temporal stability of the DarkSide-50 dark matter detector
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +142
The stability of a dark matter detector on the timescale of a few years is a key requirement due to the large exposure needed to achieve a competitive sensitivity. It is especially…
Search for dark matter annual modulation with DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +142
Dark matter induced event rate in an Earth-based detector is predicted to show an annual modulation as a result of the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun. We searched for this m…
