Calibration Plan for the SBC 10-kg Liquid Argon Detector with 100 eV Target Threshold
E. Alfonso-Pita, D. Baxter, E. Behnke +32
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) Collaboration is designing a new generation of low background, noble liquid bubble chamber experiments with sub-keV nuclear recoil threshold.…
Demonstration of Efficient Radon Removal by Silver-Zeolite in a Dark Matter Detector
Daniel Durnford, Yuqi Deng, Carter Garrah +6
We present the performance of an efficient radon trap using silver-zeolite Ag-ETS-10, measured with a spherical proportional counter filled with an argon/methane mixture. Our study…
The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…
Low-threshold response of a scintillating xenon bubble chamber to nuclear and electronic recoils
E. Alfonso-Pita, E. Behnke, M. Bressler +29
A device filled with pure xenon first demonstrated the ability to operate simultaneously as a bubble chamber and scintillation detector in 2017. Initial results from data taken at…
Search for Light Dark Matter with NEWS-G at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane Using a Methane Target
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The NEWS-G direct detection experiment uses spherical proportional counters to search for light dark matter candidates. New results from a 10 day physics run with a $135\,\mathrm{c…
Probing the connection between IceCube neutrinos and MOJAVE AGN
R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +420
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are prime candidate sources of the high-energy, astrophysical neutrinos detected by IceCube. This is demonstrated by the real-time multi-messenger dete…
Search for a light sterile neutrino with 7.5 years of IceCube DeepCore data
R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +420
We present a search for an eV-scale sterile neutrino using 7.5 years of data from the IceCube DeepCore detector. The analysis uses a sample of 21,914 events with energies between 5…
Batch VUV4 Characterization for the SBC-LAr10 scintillating bubble chamber
H. Hawley-Herrera, E. Alfonso-Pita, E. Behnke +28
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration purchased 32 Hamamatsu VUV4 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for use in SBC-LAr10, a bubble chamber containing 10~kg of liquid…
The search for Light Dark Matter with NEWS-G
Daniel Durnford, Marie-Cécile Piro
The NEWS-G direct dark matter search experiment uses spherical proportional counters (SPC) with light noble gases to explore low WIMP masses. The first results obtained with an SPC…
Nucleation efficiency of nuclear recoils in bubble chambers
Daniel Durnford, Marie-Cécile Piro
Bubble chambers using liquid xenon (and liquid argon) have been operated (resp. planned) by the Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration for GeV-scale dark matter searches…
Copper electroplating for background suppression in the NEWS-G experiment
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +47
New Experiments with Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) is a dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate at SNOLAB (Canada). Similar to other rare-event searches, the materials use…
Precision laser-based measurements of the single electron response of SPCs for the NEWS-G light dark matter search experiment
G Collaboration, Q. Arnaud, J. -P. Bard +36
Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs) are a novel gaseous detector technology employed by the NEWS-G low-mass dark matter search experiment for their high sensitivity to single el…
Novel approach to assess the impact of the Fano factor on the sensitivity of low-mass dark matter experiments
D. Durnford, Q. Arnaud, G. Gerbier
As first suggested by U. Fano in the 1940s, the statistical fluctuation of the number of pairs produced in an ionizing interaction is known to be sub-Poissonian. The dispersion is…
