Detection of scintillation light in noble gases with wavelength-shifting optical fibers
S. R. Soleti, S. Torelli, G. MartÃnez-Lema +110
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) techniques enable particle detectors based on noble gases, whose scintillation light is predominantly emitted in the vacuum-ultraviolet. We investigate WL…
Radon-induced backgrounds in the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, C. Cortes-Parra, P. Novella +111
The NEXT-100 detector at the LSC aims at the first competitive search for the \bbnonu decay using a high-pressure \Xe{136} electroluminescent time projection chamber. The first low…
Simulation of the CYGNO Gaseous TPC Optical Readout
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
Gaseous Time Projection Chambers with Optical Readout are sensitive detectors suitable for 3D measurement of low-energy O(1 keV) particles and are proposed for detecting rare event…
Characterization of field cage and cathode for low radioactivity operation with the CYGNO experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +48
Dark matter, which is considered to account for approximately the 27% of the Universe's energy-mass content, remains an open issue in modern particle physics along with its composi…
The CYGNO experiment: a gaseous TPC with optical readout for rare events searches
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +39
The CYGNO collaboration is developing a novel strategy for directional Dark Matter searches based on a gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC). The detector is optimized for the expl…
Trigger Optimization and Event Classification for Dark Matter Searches in the CYGNO Experiment Using Machine Learning
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +40
The CYGNO experiment employs an optical-readout Time Projection Chamber (TPC) to search for rare low-energy interactions using finely resolved scintillation images. While the optic…
