Constraints on Sub-MeV Dark Matter from Solar Reflection with DAMIC-M
K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +41
The Sun acts as a natural dark matter accelerator. Galactic halo particles scattering in the solar plasma emerge with velocities well beyond the Galactic escape speed, providing a…
Daily Modulation Constraints on Light Dark Matter with DAMIC-M
K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +40
The flux of Hidden Sector particles from the Galactic halo reaching an underground detector can be significantly attenuated by interactions within the Earth for sufficiently large…
Removal of spallation-induced tritium from silicon through diffusion
R. Saldanha, D. Reading, P. E. Warwick +5
Tritium, predominantly produced through spallation reactions caused by cosmic ray interactions, is a significant radioactive background for silicon-based rare event detection exper…
First Production of Skipper-CCD Modules for the DAMIC-M Experiment
H. Lin, M. Traina, S. Paul +65
The DAMIC-M experiment will search for sub-GeV dark matter particles with a large array of silicon skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM)…
Probing Benchmark Models of Hidden-Sector Dark Matter with DAMIC-M
M Collaboration, K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist +39
We report on a search for sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles interacting with electrons using the DAMIC-M prototype detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. The data feature…
