ACHINOS: A Multi-Anode Read-Out for Position Reconstruction and Tracking with Spherical Proportional Counters
I. Katsioulas, P. Knights, I. Manthos +4
The spherical proportional counter is a versatile gaseous detector with physics applications ranging from rare event searches to fast neutron spectroscopy. In its simplest form, th…
Purification Efficiency and Radon Emanation of Gas Purifiers used with Pure and Binary Gas Mixtures for Gaseous Dark Matter Detectors
K., Altenmüller, J. F. Castel +22
Rare event searches require extreme radiopurity in all detector components. This includes the active medium, which in the case of gaseous detectors, is the operating gas. The gases…
Fast Neutron Spectroscopy with a High-pressure Nitrogen-filled Large Volume Spherical Proportional Counter
I. Giomataris, I. Katsioulas, P. Knights +7
We present a fast neutron spectroscopy system based on a nitrogen-filled, large volume gaseous detector, the Spherical Proportional Counter. The system has been successfully operat…
Neutron spectroscopy: The case of the spherical proportional counter
I. Giomataris, I. Katsioulas, P. Knights +5
Neutron spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for many scientific and industrial applications, including underground Dark Matter searches. Neutron-induced backgrounds produced by cosm…
Neutron spectroscopy with a high-pressure nitrogen-filled spherical proportional counter
I. Giomataris, S. Green, I. Katsioulas +8
The spherical proportional counter is a large volume gaseous detector which finds application in several fields, including direct Dark Matter searches. When the detector is filled…
The NEWS-G detector at SNOLAB
L. Balogh, C. Beaufort, A. Brossard +38
The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration intends to achieve Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection using Spherical Propo…
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering: Terrestrial and astrophysical applications
M. Abdullah, H. Abele, D. Akimov +272
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) is a process in which neutrinos scatter on a nucleus which acts as a single particle. Though the total cross section is large…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
Simultaneous scintillation light and charge readout of a pure argon filled Spherical Proportional Counter
R. Bouet, J. Busto, V. Cecchini +20
The possible use of a Spherical Proportional Counter for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay is investigated in the R2D2 R&D project. Dual charge and scintillation light r…
Measurements of the ionization efficiency of protons in methane
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This d…
