The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…
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…
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…
R2D2 spherical TPC: first energy resolution results
R. Bouet, J. Busto, V. Cecchini +20
Spherical time projection chambers (TPC), also known as spherical proportional counters, are employed in the search for rare phenomena, such as light Dark Matter candidates. The sp…
Development of a Simulation Framework for Spherical Proportional Counters
I. Katsioulas, P. Knights, J. Matthews +4
The spherical proportional counter is a novel gaseous detector with numerous applications, including direct dark matter searches and neutron spectroscopy. The strengths of the Gean…
