X-ray characterization of fully-depleted p-channel Skipper-CCDs for the DarkNESS mission
Phoenix Alpine, Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +11
The Dark matter Nanosatellite Equipped with Skipper Sensors (DarkNESS) mission is a 6U CubeSat designed to search for X-ray lines from decaying dark matter using Skipper-CCDs. Thic…
A compact, low-power epithermal neutron counter for lunar water detection
Julian Cuevas-Zepeda, Phoenix Alpine, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +7
The detection and characterization of lunar water are critical for enabling sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon. Orbital neutron spectrometers, such as instrument…
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…
DarkNESS: A skipper-CCD NanoSatellite for Dark Matter Searches
Phoenix Alpine, Samriddhi Bhatia, Ana M. Botti +16
The Dark matter Nanosatellite Equipped with Skipper Sensors (DarkNESS) deploys a recently developed skipper-CCD architecture with sub-electron readout noise in low Earth orbit (LEO…
Characterization of proton-induced damage in thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago E. Perez, Claudio R. Chavez +4
In this work, we characterize the radiation-induced damage in two thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs irradiated unbiased and at room temperature with 217-MeV protons. We evaluate the ov…
Readout Optimization of Multi-Amplifier Sensing Charge-Coupled Devices for Single-Quantum Measurement
Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Claudio R. Chavez +15
The non-destructive readout capability of the Skipper Charge Coupled Device (CCD) has been demonstrated to reduce the noise limitation of conventional silicon devices to levels tha…
