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…
Characterization of the Cherenkov Photon Background for Low-Noise Silicon Detectors in Space
Manuel E. Gaido, Javier Tiffenberg, Alex Drlica-Wagner +7
Future space observatories that seek to perform imaging and spectroscopy of faint astronomical sources will require ultra-low-noise detectors that are sensitive over a broad wavele…
Cherenkov Photon Background for Low-Noise Silicon Detectors in Space
Manuel E. Gaido, Javier Tiffenberg, Alex Drlica-Wagner +6
Future space observatories dedicated to direct imaging and spectroscopy of extra-solar planets will require ultra-low-noise detectors that are sensitive over a broad range of wavel…
Skipper-in-CMOS: Non-Destructive Readout with Sub-Electron Noise Performance for Pixel Detectors
Agustin J. Lapi, Miguel Sofo-Haro, Benjamin C. Parpillon +15
The Skipper-in-CMOS image sensor integrates the non-destructive readout capability of Skipper Charge Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) with the high conversion gain of a pinned photod…
Dual-sided Charge-Coupled Devices
Javier Tiffenberg, Daniel Egaña-Ugrinovic, Miguel Sofo Haro +4
Existing Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) operate by detecting either the electrons or holes created in an ionization event. We propose a new type of imager, the Dual-Sided CCD, which…
Unraveling Fano noise and partial charge collection effect in X-ray spectra below 1 keV
Dario Rodrigues, Mariano Cababie, Ignacio Gomez Florenciano +6
Fano noise, readout noise, and the partial charge collection (PCC) effect collectively contribute to the degradation of energy spectra in Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) measurements,…

Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build…
Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
High Energy Physics Opportunities Using Reactor Antineutrinos
O. A. Akindele, J. M. Berryman, N. S. Bowden +14
Nuclear reactors are uniquely powerful, abundant, and flavor-pure sources of antineutrinos that continue to play a vital role in the US neutrino physics program. The US reactor ant…
