The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter

M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40

Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…

Directional detection of keV proton and carbon recoils with MIMAC

C. Beaufort, O. Guillaudin, D. Santos +4

Directional detection is the dedicated strategy to demonstrate that DM-like signals measured by direct detectors are indeed produced by DM particles from the galactic halo. The exp…

Directional detection of meV dark photons with Dandelion

C. Beaufort, M. Bastero-Gil, A. Catalano +5

This paper presents Dandelion, a new dish antenna experiment searching for dark photons (DPs) with masses around the meV that will start acquiring data by the end of 2023. A spheri…

New solar X-ray constraints on keV Axion-Like Particles

Cyprien Beaufort, Mar Bastero-Gil, Tiffany Luce +1

The decay of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) trapped in the solar gravitational field would contribute to the observed solar X-ray flux, hence constraining ALP models. We improve by on…

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering: Terrestrial and astrophysical applications

M. Abdullah, H. Abele, D. Akimov +272

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) is a process in which neutrinos scatter on a nucleus which acts as a single particle. Though the total cross section is large…

EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra

P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303

Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…

Measurements of the ionization efficiency of protons in methane

G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40

The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This d…

Directionality and head-tail recognition in the keV-range with the MIMAC detector by deconvolution of the ionic signal

Cyprien Beaufort, Olivier Guillaudin, Jean-François Muraz +3

Directional detection is the only strategy for the unambiguous identification of galactic Dark Matter (DM) even in the presence of an irreducible background such as beyond the neut…

Solar Kaluza-Klein axion search with NEWS-G

G collaboration, Q. Arnaud, L. Balogh +39

Kaluza-Klein (KK) axions appear in theories with extra dimensions as higher mass, significantly shorter lifetime, excitations of the Peccei-Quinn axion. When produced in the Sun, t…
