Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
Precision Measurement of the Specific Activity of Ar in Atmospheric Argon with the DEAP-3600 Detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, M. Alpízar-Venegas +147
The specific activity of the beta decay of Ar in atmospheric argon is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector. DEAP-3600, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, uses a total of (…
Pulseshape discrimination against low-energy Ar-39 beta decays in liquid argon with 4.5 tonne-years of DEAP-3600 data
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +126
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from Ar b…
The liquid-argon scintillation pulseshape in DEAP-3600
The DEAP collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +98
DEAP-3600 is a liquid-argon scintillation detector looking for dark matter. Scintillation events in the liquid argon (LAr) are registered by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and p…
In-situ characterization of the Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier tubes used in the DEAP-3600 experiment
DEAP Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +99
The Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier-tube (PMT) is a novel high-quantum efficiency PMT. It is currently used in the DEAP-3600 dark matter detector and is of significant interest…
A method for characterizing after-pulsing and dark noise of PMTs and SiPMs
A. Butcher, L. Doria, J. Monroe +3
Photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) and silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are detectors sensitive to single photons that are widely used for the detection of scintillation and Cerenkov l…
Index of refraction, Rayleigh scattering length, and Sellmeier coefficients in solid and liquid argon and xenon
Emily Grace, Alistair Butcher, Jocelyn Monroe +1
Large liquid argon detectors have become widely used in low rate experiments, including dark matter and neutrino research. However, the optical properties of liquid argon are not w…
DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search
DEAP Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +54
The DEAP-3600 experiment is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, in Sudbury, Ontario. It is a single-phase detector that searches for dark matter particle interactions within a 1000…
Improving Photoelectron Counting and Particle Identification in Scintillation Detectors with Bayesian Techniques
M. Akashi-Ronquest, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +79
Many current and future dark matter and neutrino detectors are designed to measure scintillation light with a large array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The energy resolution and…
Update on the MiniCLEAN Dark Matter Experiment
K. Rielage, M. Akashi-Ronquest, M. Bodmer +43
The direct search for dark matter is entering a period of increased sensitivity to the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). One such technology that is being ex…
