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…
Neutron spectroscopy with the Spherical Proportional Counter
E. Bougamont, A. Dastgheibi, J. Derre +11
A novel large volume spherical proportional counter, recently developed, is used for neutron measurements. Gas mixtures of with and pure are studied fo…
Background optimization for a new spherical gas detector for very light WIMP detection
Ali Dastgheibi-Fard, I. Giomataris, G. Gerbierb +13
The Spherical gaseous detector (or Spherical Proportional Counter, SPC) is a novel type of par- ticle detector, with a broad range of applications. Its main features include a very…
NEWS : a new spherical gas detector for very low mass WIMP detection
G. Gerbier, I. Giomataris, P. Magnier +10
The main characteristics of a new concept of spherical gaseous detectors, with some details on its operation are first given. The very low energy threshold of such detector has led…
Monitoring of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory
S. Rozov, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +42
This paper describes precise measurements of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory in proximity of the EDELWEISS-II dark matter search experiment together with…
A low background Micromegas detector for the CAST experiment
P. Abbon, S. Andriamonje, S. Aune +21
A low background Micromegas detector has been operating on the CAST experiment at CERN for the search of solar axions during the first phase of the experiment (2002-2004). The dete…
