LMC-Perturbed LZ Dark Matter Landscape
Nassim Bozorgnia, Samantha Contreras, Graciela B. Gelmini +3
The local dark matter (DM) velocity distribution is significantly altered by the gravitational impact of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which creates a high-velocity tail. We ev…
Spin-dependent dark matter interactions at loop-level in Ar and Xe
Nassim Bozorgnia, Muping Chen, Graciela B. Gelmini +2
Xenon and argon are the two noble gases used in tonne scale dark matter direct detection experiments. We compare the detection capability of both target elements for interactions d…
A Simple Model of Energy Threshold for Snowball Chambers
M. Szydagis, C. Levy, A. E. Bolotnikov +6
Cloud and bubble chambers have historically been used for particle detection, capitalizing on supersaturation and superheating, respectively. Here we present new results from a pro…
Supporting Capabilities For Underground Facilities
Alvine Kamaha, Brianna Mount, Richard Schnee
The 2021 particle physics community study, known as "Snowmass 2021", has brought together particle physicists around the world to create a unified vision for the field over the nex…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Calibrations and backgrounds for dark matter direct detection
Daniel Baxter, Raymond Bunker, Sally Shaw +48
Future dark matter direct detection experiments will reach unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Achieving this sensitivity will require more precise models of signal and background…
Demonstration of neutron radiation-induced nucleation of supercooled water
Matthew Szydagis, Cecilia Levy, Yujia Huang +4
We present here direct evidence for neutrons causing nucleation of supercooled water. Highly purified water (20 nm filtration) is cooled to well below freezing (as low as -20 degre…
