Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
Direct Measurement of the Ar Half-life from 3.4 Years of Data with the DEAP-3600 Detector
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +114
The half-life of Ar is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector located 2 km underground at SNOLAB. Between 2016 and 2020, DEAP-3600 used a target mass of (3269 24) kg of…
SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range
The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312
Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…
Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon
The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328
Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…
