First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125
We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…
New limits on the Pauli forbidden transitions in 12C nuclei obtained with the complete Borexino dataset
Borexino collaboration, D. Basilico, G. Bellini +70
The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) was tested for nucleons in nuclei using the Borexino dataset from 2007 to 2021. %the complete Borexino detector data. The approach…
Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Fermionic sub-GeV Dark Matter from evaporating Primordial Black Holes at DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +125
We present a search for boosted dark matter from Primordial Black Holes (PBH) evaporation using the DarkSide-50 ionization-signal-only dataset corresponding to the experiment's ($1…
Electron-antineutrino spectrum from precision measurements of Pr-decay
A. V. Derbin, I. S. Drachnev, D. V. Ivanov +6
The Ce -- Pr electron antineutrino source is one of the most suitable radiochemical sources for experiments searching for the oscillations of active neutrinos to th…
Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144
Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble-liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
