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.…
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…
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…
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…
