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…

Directionality of nuclear recoils in a liquid argon time projection chamber

20k Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. Ahmad +264

The direct search for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) is performed by detecting nuclear recoils (NR) produced in a target material from the W…

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…
