Precision measurement of Compton scattering in silicon with a skipper CCD for dark matter detection
D. Norcini, N. Castello-Mor, D. Baxter +41
Experiments aiming to directly detect dark matter through particle recoils can achieve energy thresholds of . In this regime, ionization signals from s…
Snowmass 2021 White Paper: The Selena Neutrino Experiment
A. E. Chavarria, C. Galbiati, B. Hernandez-Molinero +8
Imaging devices made from an ionization target layer of amorphous selenium (aSe) coupled to a silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel array for charge r…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Cosmogenic activation of silicon
R. Saldanha, R. Thomas, R. H. M. Tsang +10
The production of H, Be, and Na by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with silicon can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for rare eve…
