Lindhard integral equation with binding energy applied to light and charge yields of nuclear recoils in noble liquid detectors
Y. Sarkis, Aguilar-Arevalo, Juan Carlos D'Olivo
We present a model of the ionization efficiency, or quenching factor, for low-energy nuclear recoils, based on a solution to Lindhard integral equation with binding energy and appl…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Exploring low-energy neutrino physics with the Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE)
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou, Carla Bonifazi +30
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) uses low-noise fully depleted charge-coupled devices (CCDs) with the goal of measuring low-energy recoils from coheren…
The DAMIC dark matter experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment uses high resistivity, scientific grade CCDs to search for dark matter. The CCD's low electronic noise allows an unprecedently low energy…
Status of the DAMIC direct dark matter search experiment
DAMIC Collaboration, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +31
The DAMIC experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for dark matter particles. With an energy threshold 50 eV, and excellent energy and spatial r…
DAMIC at SNOLAB
Alvaro Chavarria, Javier Tiffenberg, Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo +19
We introduce the fully-depleted charge-coupled device (CCD) as a particle detector. We demonstrate its low energy threshold operation, capable of detecting ionizing energy depositi…
