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…
