Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
Measurement of isotopic separation of argon with the prototype of the cryogenic distillation plant Aria for dark matter searches
20k Collaboration
The Aria cryogenic distillation plant, located in Sardinia, Italy, is a key component of the DarkSide-20k experimental program for WIMP dark matter searches at the INFN Laboratori…
Sensitivity projections for a dual-phase argon TPC optimized for light dark matter searches through the ionization channel
P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +296
Dark matter lighter than 10 GeV/c encompasses a promising range of candidates. A conceptual design for a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is presented, based on the DarkSide-50…
Scintillator ageing of the T2K near detectors from 2010 to 2021
The T2K Collaboration, K. Abe, N. Akhlaq +355
The T2K experiment widely uses plastic scintillator as a target for neutrino interactions and an active medium for the measurement of charged particles produced in neutrino interac…
Very large SiPM arrays with aggregated output
A. Razeto, V. Camillo, M. Carlini +15
In this work we will document the design and the performances of a SiPM-based photodetector with a surface area of 100 cm conceived to operate as a replacement for PMTs. The si…
Performance of the ReD TPC, a novel double-phase LAr detector with Silicon Photomultiplier Readout
P. Agnes, S. Albergo, I. Albuquerque +64
A double-phase argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC), with an active mass of 185 g, has been designed and constructed for the Recoil Directionality (ReD) experiment. The aim of the R…
Separating Ar from Ar by cryogenic distillation with Aria for dark matter searches
DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, S. Albergo +309
The Aria project consists of a plant, hosting a 350 m cryogenic isotopic distillation column, the tallest ever built, which is currently in the installation phase in a mine shaft a…
Improving isotopic identification with \emph{INDRA} Silicon-CsI(\emph{Tl}) telescopes
O. Lopez, M. Parlog, B. Borderie +21
Profiting from previous works done with the \emph{INDRA} multidetector on the description of the light response of the CsI(\emph{Tl}) crystals to different impinging n…
DarkSide-20k: A 20 Tonne Two-Phase LAr TPC for Direct Dark Matter Detection at LNGS
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +282
Building on the successful experience in operating the DarkSide-50 detector, the DarkSide Collaboration is going to construct DarkSide-20k, a direct WIMP search detector using a tw…
