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…
Search for Light Dark Matter with NEWS-G at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane Using a Methane Target
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The NEWS-G direct detection experiment uses spherical proportional counters to search for light dark matter candidates. New results from a 10 day physics run with a $135\,\mathrm{c…
R2D2 TPC: first Xenon results
R. Bouet, J. Busto, V. Cecchini +16
Radial time projection chambers (TPC), already employed in the search for rare phenomena such as light Dark Matter candidate, could provide a new detection approach for the search…
A sparkless resistive glass correction electrode for the spherical proportional counter
I. Katsioulas, I. Giomataris, P. Knights +4
A new anode support structure for the spherical proportional counter is presented that incorporates a resistive correction electrode made of glass. This electrode improves the elec…
