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…

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…

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…
