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…
The MIGDAL experiment: Measuring a rare atomic process to aid the search for dark matter
H. M. Araújo, S. N. Balashov, J. E. Borg +33
We present the Migdal In Galactic Dark mAtter expLoration (MIGDAL) experiment aiming at the unambiguous observation and study of the so-called Migdal effect induced by fast-neutron…
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…
