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…
Gamma Backgrounds for Experiments at the High Flux Isotope Reactor
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Baldenegro +53
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial d…
Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector
M. Andriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +43
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a prolific muon producer, making it an ideal location for studying dark sector particles produced in…
New Deep Learning Data Analysis Method for PROSPECT using GAPE: Genetic Algorithm Powered Evolution
M. Adriamirado, A. B. Balantekin, C. Bass +40
We propose a genetic algorithm powered evolution (GAPE) method to create deep learning solutions for energy and position estimation for reactor antineutrino interactions in the Pre…
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…
Final Search for Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations with the PROSPECT-I Detector at HFIR
M. Andriamirado, B. Balantekin, C. D. Bass +44
The PROSPECT experiment is designed to perform precise searches for antineutrino disappearance at short distances (7 - 9~m) from compact nuclear reactor cores. This Letter reports…
