Improvement and assessment of the radiopurity of Micromegas readout planes
Juan Castel, Susana Cebrian, Theopisti Dafni +17
Micromesh Gas Structures (Micromegas) as readout of gaseous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are being considered in experiments investigating rare phenomena, like the nuclear doubl…
Low-energy threshold demonstration for dark matter searches in TREX-DM with an Ar source produced at CNA HiSPANoS
J. Castel, S. Cebrián, T. Dafni +16
We report on the successful implementation of an Ar calibration source in the TREX-DM detector, a high-pressure time projection chamber designed for low-mass dark matter sea…
A proposal for a low-frequency axion search in the 1-2 eV range and below with the BabyIAXO magnet
S. Ahyoune, A. Álvarez Melcón, S. Arguedas Cuendis +27
In the near future BabyIAXO will be the most powerful axion helioscope, relying on a custom-made magnet of two bores of 70 cm diameter and 10 m long, with a total available magneti…
Purification Efficiency and Radon Emanation of Gas Purifiers used with Pure and Binary Gas Mixtures for Gaseous Dark Matter Detectors
K., Altenmüller, J. F. Castel +22
Rare event searches require extreme radiopurity in all detector components. This includes the active medium, which in the case of gaseous detectors, is the operating gas. The gases…
AlphaCAMM, a Micromegas-based camera for high-sensitivity screening of alpha surface contamination
Konrad Altenmüller, Juan F. Castel, Susana Cebrián +12
Surface contamination of Rn progeny from the U natural decay chain is one of the most difficult background contributions to measure in rare event searches experimen…
