Cryogenic characterisation of the FBK NUV-HD-cryo Silicon Photomultipliers for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +298
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are highly promising detectors for dark matter searches due to their uniform response, scalability to large target masses, and compatib…
Measuring the Speed of Light with a Time-of-Flight Setup: An Authentic Experiment for High School
Alberto Mazzi
Students often perceive scientific experiments as clean, straightforward procedures with predictable outcomes. Students' beliefs about the nature of experimental physics typically…
Sensitivity projections for a dual-phase argon TPC optimized for light dark matter searches through the ionization channel
P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +296
Dark matter lighter than 10 GeV/c encompasses a promising range of candidates. A conceptual design for a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is presented, based on the DarkSide-50…
Very large SiPM arrays with aggregated output
A. Razeto, V. Camillo, M. Carlini +15
In this work we will document the design and the performances of a SiPM-based photodetector with a surface area of 100 cm conceived to operate as a replacement for PMTs. The si…
SiPM cross-talk in liquid argon detectors
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +23
SiPM-based readouts are becoming the standard for light detection in particle detectors given their superior resolution and ease of use with respect to vacuum tube photo-multiplier…
Radiation damage on SiPMs for Space Applications
Anna Rita Altamura, Fabio Acerbi, Benedetto Di Ruzza +3
Silicon Photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are very sensitive photo-detectors that experienced a big development in the last years in several applications, like LIDAR, astrophysics, medical…
Characterization of Silicon Photomultipliers after proton irradiation up to
A. R. Altamura, F. Acerbi, C. Nociforo +3
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are highly-sensitive photodetectors emerging as the technology of choice for many applications, including large high-energy physics experiments whe…
Direct comparison of PEN and TPB wavelength shifters in a liquid argon detector
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +26
A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distan…
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…
Sensitivity of future liquid argon dark matter search experiments to core-collapse supernova neutrinos
P. Agnes, S. Albergo, I. F. M. Albuquerque +273
Future liquid-argon DarkSide-20k and ARGO detectors, designed for direct dark matter search, will be sensitive also to core-collapse supernova neutrinos, via coherent elastic neutr…
Cryogenic SiPM arrays for the DUNE photon detection system
A. Falcone, A. Andreani, S. Bertolucci +29
In this paper we report on the characterization of SiPM tiles developed for the R & D on the DUNE Photon Detection System. The tiles were produced by Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)…
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…
