Optical effects in Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEMs)
D. Edgeman, F. M. Brunbauer, M. Gardner +9
Optical time projection chambers (OTPCs) are well suited for applications that require the highest spatial resolution for particle track reconstruction. The MIGDAL experiment uses…
Report of the Topical Group on Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors for Snowmass 2021
B. Surrow, M. Titov, S. Vahsen +10
This report summarizes white papers on micro-pattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) that were submitted to the Instrumentation Frontier Topical Group IF05, as part of the Snowmass 2021…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
LEGEND-1000 Preconceptual Design Report
LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, I. Abt +261
We propose the construction of LEGEND-1000, the ton-scale Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Decay. This international experiment is designed to answer one o…
Directional recoil detection
Sven E. Vahsen, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Dinesh Loomba
Searches for dark matter-induced recoils have made impressive advances in the last few years. Yet the field is confronted by several outstanding problems. First, the inevitable bac…
CYGNUS: Feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos
S. E. Vahsen, C. A. J. O'Hare, W. A. Lynch +16
Now that conventional weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter searches are approaching the neutrino floor, there has been a resurgence of interest in detectors with…
