Calibration and Performance of Germanium High Voltage Detectors for SuperCDMS SNOLAB
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso-González +140
As SuperCDMS SNOLAB is getting ready to search for low mass dark matter particles, using cryogenic Ge and Si detectors, a set of six of the new SuperCDMS High Voltage (HV) detector…
Search for low-mass electron-recoil dark matter using a single-charge sensitive SuperCDMS-HVeV Detector
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +146
We present constraints on low-mass dark matter electron scattering and absorption interactions using a SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution (HVeV) detector. Data were taken undergr…
Low-Energy Calibration of SuperCDMS HVeV Cryogenic Silicon Calorimeters Using Compton Steps
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +148
Cryogenic calorimeters for low-mass dark matter searches have achieved sub-eV energy resolutions, driving advances in both low-energy calibration techniques and our understanding o…
Novel coincidence detection technique for precision measurement of neutron-capture-induced nuclear recoils
A J Biffl, Gerardo D Gonzalez, A N Villano +1
The lattice dynamics following particle interactions remain not fully understood, and effects from nuclear-recoil interactions in conventional solid-state detectors - such as defec…
Applying Geant4's Importance Biasing to improve the efficiency of SuperCDMS background simulations
B. Zatschler, A. J. Biffl, R. Calkins +6
Experiments searching for extremely rare events surround their sensitive detectors with several layers of different shielding materials to protect them from external radiation and…
