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…

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…
