First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125
We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…
Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144
Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
Fermionic sub-GeV Dark Matter from evaporating Primordial Black Holes at DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +125
We present a search for boosted dark matter from Primordial Black Holes (PBH) evaporation using the DarkSide-50 ionization-signal-only dataset corresponding to the experiment's ($1…
Long-term temporal stability of the DarkSide-50 dark matter detector
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +142
The stability of a dark matter detector on the timescale of a few years is a key requirement due to the large exposure needed to achieve a competitive sensitivity. It is especially…
Search for dark matter annual modulation with DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +142
Dark matter induced event rate in an Earth-based detector is predicted to show an annual modulation as a result of the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun. We searched for this m…
Search for low mass dark matter in DarkSide-50: the bayesian network approach
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +140
We present a novel approach for the search of dark matter in the DarkSide-50 experiment, relying on Bayesian Networks. This method incorporates the detector response model into the…
Search for dark matter-nucleon interactions via Migdal effect with DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +141
Dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei can result in the excitation and ionization of the recoiling atom through the so-called Migdal effect. The energy deposition from the ioni…
Search for low-mass dark matter WIMPs with 12 ton-day exposure of DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +139
We report on the search for dark matter WIMPs in the mass range below 10 GeV/c, from the analysis of the entire dataset acquired with a low-radioactivity argon target by the Da…
A study of events with photoelectric emission in the DarkSide-50 liquid argon Time Projection Chamber
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +135
Finding unequivocal evidence of dark matter interactions in a particle detector is a major objective of physics research. Liquid argon time projection chambers offer a path to prob…
The SNO+ Experiment
SNO+ Collaboration, :, V. Albanese +251
The SNO+ experiment is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. A low background search for neutrinoless double beta () decay will be conducted using 780 tonnes…
Status Update of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiment
Julieta Gruszko, Nicolas Abgrall, Isaac Arnquist +67
Neutrinoless double beta decay searches play a major role in determining neutrino properties, in particular the Majorana or Dirac nature of the neutrino and the absolute scale of t…
