SENSEI: First Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from SENSEI at SNOLAB
SENSEI Collaboration, Prakruth Adari, Itay M. Bloch +34
We present the first results from a dark matter search using six Skipper-CCDs in the SENSEI detector operating at SNOLAB. We employ a bias-mitigation technique of hiding approximat…
Experimental advances with the QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit) for superconducting quantum hardware
Chunyang Ding, Martin Di Federico, Michael Hatridge +14
The QICK is a standalone open source qubit controller that was first introduced in 2022. In this follow-up work, we present recent experimental use cases that the QICK uniquely ena…
Fast Single-Quantum Measurement with a Multi-Amplifier Sensing Charge-Coupled Device
Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Claudio R. Chavez +11
A novel readout architecture that uses multiple non-destructive floating-gate amplifiers to achieve sub-electron readout noise in a thick, fully-depleted silicon detector is presen…
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…
Confirmation of the spectral excess in DAMIC at SNOLAB with skipper CCDs
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +69
We present results from a 3.25 kg-day target exposure of two silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs), each with 24 megapixels and skipper readout, deployed in the DAMIC setup at SNOL…
SENSEI: Search for Millicharged Particles produced in the NuMI Beam
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti +28
Millicharged particles appear in several extensions of the Standard Model, but have not yet been detected. These hypothetical particles could be produced by an intense proton beam…
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,…
Searching for millicharged particles with 1 kg of Skipper-CCDs using the NuMI beam at Fermilab
Santiago Perez, Dario Rodrigues, Juan Estrada +57
Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build…
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…
