Background discrimination with a Micromegas detector prototype and veto system for BabyIAXO
K. Altenmüller, J. F. Castel, S. Cebrián +22
In this paper we present measurements performed with a Micromegas X-ray detector setup. The detector is a prototype in the context of the BabyIAXO helioscope, which is under constr…
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…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
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…
