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…
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…
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…
A new possible way to detect Axion Anti-quark Nuggets
Ionel Lazanu, Mihaela Parvu
The axion anti-quark nugget (AN) model was developed to explain in a natural way the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in Universe. In this hypothesis, a si…
Exploring the detection of AQNs in large liquid detectors
Ionel Lazanu, Mihaela Parvu
Recent work from the last years has raised the possibility that a portion of Dark Matter could consist of exotic particles, such as axion (anti)quark nuggets (AQN, A\bar{Q}N). Afte…
Low Background kTon-Scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers
A. Avasthi, T. Bezerra, A. Borkum +28
We find that it is possible to increase sensitivity to low energy physics in a third or fourth DUNE-like module with careful controls over radiopurity and some modifications to a d…
Low-Energy Physics in Neutrino LArTPCs
D. Caratelli, W. Foreman, A. Friedland +285
In this white paper, we outline some of the scientific opportunities and challenges related to detection and reconstruction of low-energy (less than 100 MeV) signatures in liquid a…
Can strangelets be detected in a large LAr neutrino detector?
Mihaela Parvu, Ionel Lazanu
Predicted as possible bound states of up, down and strange quarks, strangelets could be more energetically favourable and more stable than nuclear matter. In this paper we explore…
Radioactive background for ProtoDUNE detector
Mihaela Parvu, Ionel Lazanu
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a leading-edge, international experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies. This experiment is looking for answers re…
Study of scintillation light collection, production and propagation in a 4 tonne dual-phase LArTPC
B. Aimard, L. Aizawa, C. Alt +160
The m demonstrator is a dual phase liquid argon time projection chamber that has recorded cosmic rays events in 2017 at CERN. The light signal in these de…
About detecting very low mass black holes in LAr detectors
Ionel Lazanu, Sorina Lazanu, Mihaela Pârvu
The nature of dark matter is still an open problem. The simplest assumption is that gravity is the only force coupled certainly to dark matter and thus the micro black holes could…
A 4 tonne demonstrator for large-scale dual-phase liquid argon time projection chambers
B. Aimard, Ch. Alt, J. Asaadi +169
A 10 kilo-tonne dual-phase liquid argon TPC is one of the detector options considered for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The detector technology relies on amplifi…
Some considerations about cosmogenic production of radioactive isotopes in Ar as target for the next neutrino experiments
Mihaela Pârvu, I. Lazanu
The concept of the LAr TPC technology that is an excellent tracking - calorimeter detector will be used for the next generations of neutrino experiments. In this class of detectors…
