Confirmation of the spectral excess in DAMIC at SNOLAB with skipper CCDs
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, I. Arnquist, N. Avalos +69
We present results from a 3.25 kg-day target exposure of two silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs), each with 24 megapixels and skipper readout, deployed in the DAMIC setup at SNOL…
Volume reduction of water samples to increase sensitivity for radioassay of lead contamination
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, C. Canet, M. A. Cruz-Pérez +17
The World Health Organisation (WHO) presents an upper limit for lead in drinking water of 10 parts per billion ppb. Typically, to reach this level of sensitivity, expensive metrolo…
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…
Characterization of the background spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, I. Arnquist +31
We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth and energy r…
Results on Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from a 11 kg d Target Exposure of DAMIC at SNOLAB (ICRC2021 Proceedings)
Michelangelo Traina
Experimental efforts of the last decades have been unsuccessful in detecting WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) in the 10-to-10 GeV/ range, thus motivating the s…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
Dosimetry and calorimetry performance of a scientific CMOS camera for environmental monitoring
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou, Carles Canet +18
This paper explores the prospect of CMOS devices to assay lead in drinking water, using calorimetry. Lead occurs together with traces of radioisotopes, e.g. Lead-210, producing …
Results on Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from an 11 kg-day Target Exposure of DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +29
We present constraints on the existence of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) from an 11 kg-day target exposure of the DAMIC experiment at the SNOLAB underground laborato…
