First Production of Skipper-CCD Modules for the DAMIC-M Experiment
H. Lin, M. Traina, S. Paul +65
The DAMIC-M experiment will search for sub-GeV dark matter particles with a large array of silicon skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM)…
Probing Benchmark Models of Hidden-Sector Dark Matter with DAMIC-M
M Collaboration, K. Aggarwal, I. Arnquist +39
We report on a search for sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles interacting with electrons using the DAMIC-M prototype detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. The data feature…
The DAMIC-M Low Background Chamber
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, P. Bailly +66
The DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane (DAMIC-M) experiment is designed to search for light dark matter (m<10\,GeV/c) at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) in France. DA…
Nuclear Recoil Identification in a Scientific Charge-Coupled Device
K. J. McGuire, A. E. Chavarria, N. Castello-Mor +19
Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are a leading technology in direct dark matter searches because of their eV-scale energy threshold and high spatial resolution. The sensitivity of fut…
Search for Daily Modulation of MeV Dark Matter Signals with DAMIC-M
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, D. Baxter +37
Dark Matter (DM) particles with sufficiently large cross sections may scatter as they travel through Earth's bulk. The corresponding changes in the DM flux give rise to a character…
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…
SENSEI: Search for Millicharged Particles produced in the NuMI Beam
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti +28
Millicharged particles appear in several extensions of the Standard Model, but have not yet been detected. These hypothetical particles could be produced by an intense proton beam…
Searching for millicharged particles with 1 kg of Skipper-CCDs using the NuMI beam at Fermilab
Santiago Perez, Dario Rodrigues, Juan Estrada +57
Oscura is a planned light-dark matter search experiment using Skipper-CCDs with a total active mass of 10 kg. As part of the detector development, the collaboration plans to build…
Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
First Constraints from DAMIC-M on Sub-GeV Dark-Matter Particles Interacting with Electrons
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, D. Baxter +42
We report constraints on sub-GeV dark matter particles interacting with electrons from the first underground operation of DAMIC-M detectors. The search is performed with an integra…
The DAMIC-M Experiment: Status and First Results
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, P. Bailly +69
The DAMIC-M (DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane) experiment employs thick, fully depleted silicon charged-coupled devices (CCDs) to search for dark matter particles with a target exposu…
Precision measurement of Compton scattering in silicon with a skipper CCD for dark matter detection
D. Norcini, N. Castello-Mor, D. Baxter +41
Experiments aiming to directly detect dark matter through particle recoils can achieve energy thresholds of . In this regime, ionization signals from s…
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…
SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti +22
We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the orig…
SENSEI: Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from a New Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Mariano Cababie +20
We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for da…
