Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +301
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projectio…
Flow and thermal modelling of the argon volume in the DarkSide-20k TPC
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +300
The DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, features a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with a ~50 t argon target from an underground wel…
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…
DarkSide-20k sensitivity to light dark matter particles
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +310
The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c. This was demons…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Cryogenic Characterization of FBK RGB-HD SiPMs
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +268
We report on the cryogenic characterization of Red Green Blue - High Density (RGB-HD) SiPMs developed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) as part of the DarkSide program of dark matt…
