Anisotropic ionization threshold and directional sensitivity in solid state DM detectors
Matti Heikinheimo, Sebastian Sassi, Kimmo Tuominen +2
The threshold displacement energy for nuclear recoils depends strongly on the direction of the recoiling nucleus with respect to the crystal lattice. Assuming that similar dependen…

Energy loss due to defect creation in solid state detectors
Matti Heikinheimo, Sebastian Sassi, Kimmo Tuominen +2
The threshold displacement energy in solid state detector materials varies from several eV to ~100 eV. If a stable or long lived defect is created as a result of a nuclear recoil e…

Solar neutrinos and dark matter detection with diurnal modulation
Sebastian Sassi, Abolfazl Dinmohammadi, Matti Heikinheimo +4
We investigate the diurnal modulation of the event rate for dark matter scattering on solid targets arising from the directionally dependent defect creation threshold energy. In pa…
