Characterization of Spurious Charge in SENSEI Skipper-CCDs
Yikai Wu, Ansh Desai, Sho Uemura +16
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are a leading technology in the search for sub-GeV dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. A key background for…
MAS-CCD: New technique for measuring low-level charge content based on the multiple amplifier architecture
Miqueas E. Gamero, Guillermo Fernández Moroni, Fernando Chierchie +4
Low-noise detectors are a key technology for the next generation of astronomical instruments aimed at spectroscopy of faint objects and the search for exoplanets. In this context,…
A compact, low-power epithermal neutron counter for lunar water detection
Julian Cuevas-Zepeda, Phoenix Alpine, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +7
The detection and characterization of lunar water are critical for enabling sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon. Orbital neutron spectrometers, such as instrument…
Characterization of proton-induced damage in thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago E. Perez, Claudio R. Chavez +4
In this work, we characterize the radiation-induced damage in two thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs irradiated unbiased and at room temperature with 217-MeV protons. We evaluate the ov…
Towards a quantum realization of the ampere using single-electron resolution Skipper-CCDs
Miqueas Gamero, Agustin Lapi, Blas Irigoyen Gimenez +7
This paper presents a proof-of-concept demonstration of the Skipper-CCD, a sensor with single-electron counting capability, as a promising technology for implementing an electron-p…
Effects of Proton Irradiation on the Performance of Skipper CCDs
Brandon Roach, Brenda A. Cervantes Vergara, Santiago Perez +3
Skipper CCDs are a mature detector technology that has been suggested for future space telescope instruments requiring sub-electron readout noise in the near-ultraviolet to the nea…
Studying single-electron traps in newly fabricated Skipper-CCDs for the Oscura experiment using the pocket-pumping technique
S. E. Perez, B. A. Cervantes-Vergara, J. Estrada +3
Understanding and characterizing very low-energy (eV) background sources is a must in rare-event searches. Oscura, an experiment aiming to probe electron recoils from sub-GeV…
