Dual-sided Charge-Coupled Devices
Javier Tiffenberg, Daniel Egaña-Ugrinovic, Miguel Sofo Haro +4
Existing Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) operate by detecting either the electrons or holes created in an ionization event. We propose a new type of imager, the Dual-Sided CCD, which…
Unraveling Fano noise and partial charge collection effect in X-ray spectra below 1 keV
Dario Rodrigues, Mariano Cababie, Ignacio Gomez Florenciano +6
Fano noise, readout noise, and the partial charge collection (PCC) effect collectively contribute to the degradation of energy spectra in Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) measurements,…
Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
First results from a multiplexed and massive instrument with sub-electron noise Skipper-CCDs
F. Chierchie, C. R. Chavez, M. Sofo Haro +7
We present a new instrument composed of a large number of sub-electron noise Skipper-CCDs operated with a two stage analog multiplexed readout scheme suitable for scaling to thousa…
Analog pile-up circuit technique using a single capacitor for the readout of Skipper-CCD detectors
Miguel Sofo Haro, Claudio Chavez, Jose Lipovetzky +8
With Skipper-CCD detectors it is possible to take multiple samples of the charge packet collected on each pixel. After averaging the samples, the noise can be extremely reduced all…
SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti +22
We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the orig…
Smart-readout of the Skipper-CCD: Achieving Sub-electron Noise Levels in Regions of Interest
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +7
The skipper CCD is a special type of charge coupled device in which the readout noise can be reduced to sub-electron levels by averaging independent measurements of the same charge…
Absolute measurement of the Fano factor using a Skipper-CCD
Dario Rodrigues, Kevin Andersson, Mariano Cababie +11
Skipper-CCD can achieve deep sub-electron readout noise making possible the absolute determination of the exact number of ionized electrons in a large range, from 0 to above 1900 e…
The SeaQuest Spectrometer at Fermilab
SeaQuest Collaboration, C. A. Aidala, J. R. Arrington +95
The SeaQuest spectrometer at Fermilab was designed to detect oppositely-charged pairs of muons (dimuons) produced by interactions between a 120 GeV proton beam and liquid hydrogen,…
The Heavy Photon Search beamline and its performance
N. Baltzell, H. Egiyan, M. Ehrhart +18
The Heavy Photon Search (HPS) is an experiment to search for a hidden sector photon, aka a heavy photon or dark photon, in fixed target electroproduction at the Thomas Jefferson Na…
The Heavy Photon Search Test Detector
Marco Battaglieri, Sergey Boyarinov, Stephen Bueltmann +61
The Heavy Photon Search (HPS), an experiment to search for a hidden sector photon in fixed target electroproduction, is preparing for installation at the Thomas Jefferson National…
