Constraints on Sub-MeV Dark Matter from Solar Reflection with DAMIC-M
K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +41
The Sun acts as a natural dark matter accelerator. Galactic halo particles scattering in the solar plasma emerge with velocities well beyond the Galactic escape speed, providing a…
Daily Modulation Constraints on Light Dark Matter with DAMIC-M
K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +40
The flux of Hidden Sector particles from the Galactic halo reaching an underground detector can be significantly attenuated by interactions within the Earth for sufficiently large…
First Production of Skipper-CCD Modules for the DAMIC-M Experiment
H. Lin, M. Traina, S. Paul +65
The DAMIC-M experiment will search for sub-GeV dark matter particles with a large array of silicon skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM)…
Investigation of Low-Energy Particle Remnants in High-Energy Collisions at the LHC with a Skipper-CCD detector
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago E. Perez, Nicola Bacchetta +8
We deployed MOSKITA 33 m away from the CMS collision point, the first skipper-CCD detector probing low-energy particles produced in high-energy collisions at the Large Hadron…
Probing Benchmark Models of Hidden-Sector Dark Matter with DAMIC-M
M Collaboration, K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist +39
We report on a search for sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles interacting with electrons using the DAMIC-M prototype detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. The data feature…
The DAMIC-M Low Background Chamber

The DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane (DAMIC-M) experiment is designed to search for light dark matter (m<10\,GeV/c) at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) in France. DA…
Nuclear Recoil Identification in a Scientific Charge-Coupled Device
K. J. McGuire, A. E. Chavarria, N. Castello-Mor +19
Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are a leading technology in direct dark matter searches because of their eV-scale energy threshold and high spatial resolution. The sensitivity of fut…
Search for Daily Modulation of MeV Dark Matter Signals with DAMIC-M
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, D. Baxter +37
Dark Matter (DM) particles with sufficiently large cross sections may scatter as they travel through Earth's bulk. The corresponding changes in the DM flux give rise to a character…
