Stability and detection performance of a GEM-based Optical Readout TPC with He/CF gas mixtures
E. Baracchini, L. Benussi, S. Bianco +26
The performance and long term stability of an optically readout Time Projection Chamber with an electron amplification structure based on three Gas Electron Multipliers was studied…
CYGNUS: Feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos
S. E. Vahsen, C. A. J. O'Hare, W. A. Lynch +16
Now that conventional weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter searches are approaching the neutrino floor, there has been a resurgence of interest in detectors with…
CYGNO: a gaseous TPC with optical readout for dark matter directional search
E. Baracchini, L. Benussi, S. Bianco +26
The CYGNO project has the goal to use a gaseous TPC with optical readout to detect dark matter and solar neutrinos with low energy threshold and directionality. The CYGNO demonstra…
Identification of low energy nuclear recoils in a gas TPC with optical readout
Elisabetta Baracchini, Luigi Benussi, Stefano Bianco +27
The search for a novel technology able to detect and reconstruct nuclear recoil events in the keV energy range has become more and more important as long as vast regions of high ma…
A density-based clustering algorithm for the CYGNO data analysis
E. Baracchini, L. Benussi, S. Bianco +26
Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) working in combination with Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) produce a very sensitive detector capable of observing low energy events. This is achiev…
The Drift Chamber of the MEG II experiment
G. F. Tassielli, A. M. Baldini, G. Cavoto +19
The MEG experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut searches for the charged-Lepton-Flavor-Violating mu+ -> e+ gamma decay. MEG has already set the world best upper limit on the branc…
First evidence of luminescence in a He/CF gas mixture induced by non-ionizing electrons
E. Baracchini, L. Benussi, S. Bianco +25
Optical readout of Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) provides very interesting performances and has been proposed for different applications in particle physics. In particular, thanks…
A 1 m Gas Time Projection Chamber with Optical Readout for Directional Dark Matter Searches: the CYGNO Experiment
E. Baracchini, R. Bedogni, F. Bellini +25
The aim of the CYGNO project is the construction and operation of a 1~m gas TPC for directional dark matter searches and coherent neutrino scattering measurements, as a prototy…
