Superfluid He-4 as Dark Matter Detectors
Zizhou Huang, Mihaela Parvu, Dmitry Budker +2
Superfluid helium-4 is an attractive medium for high-sensitivity detection of dark matter (DM) candidates (as well as other particles). There are several collaborations that have b…
Dark matter signatures in cosmic rays
M. Maroudas, A. Argiriou, G. Cantatore +11
This study analyzes an 11-year cosmic ray dataset of positrons and antiprotons for planetary dependencies related to gravitationally focused dark matter streams. By projecting even…
Optimised neutron yield calculations from () reactions with the modified SOURCES4 code
Mihaela Parvu, Piotr Krawczun, Vitaly A. Kudryavtsev
The sensitivity of underground experiments searching for rare events such as dark matter, neutrino interactions or several beyond the standard model phenomena is often limited by t…
Review of Neutron Yield from (, n) Reactions: Data, Methods, and Prospects
D. Cano-Ott, S. Cebrián, P. Dimitriou +16
Understanding the radiogenic neutron production rate through the (, n) reaction is crucial in many areas of physics, including dark matter searches, neutrino studies, and nucle…
Nuclear effects in proton decay
Denis Barbu, Mihaela Parvu, Ionel Lazanu
Proton decay detection could put in evidence physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this context, multiple projects are searching for such events. We focused our work on two o…
