In situ cryogenic characterization of proton damage in thick p-channel skipper CCDs
Brandon M. Roach, Brenda Cervantes Vergara, Alex Drlica-Wagner +14
Skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are an offshoot of standard silicon pixel detectors and are capable of performing repeated non-destructive charge measurements, enabling deepl…
Characterization of Spurious Charge in SENSEI Skipper-CCDs
Yikai Wu, Ansh Desai, Sho Uemura +16
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are a leading technology in the search for sub-GeV dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. A key background for…
Light-tight skipper-CCDs for X-ray detection in space
Ana M. Botti, Yikai Wu, Brenda Cervantes +6
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (skipper-CCDs) are pixelated silicon detectors with deep sub-electron resolution. Their radiation hardness and capability to reconstruct energy depos…
Searches for CEνNS and Physics beyond the Standard Model using Skipper-CCDs at CONNIE
Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Nicolas Avalos, Xavier Bertou +31
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) aims to detect the coherent scattering (CENS) of reactor antineutrinos off silicon nuclei using thick fully-deplet…
MAS-CCD: New technique for measuring low-level charge content based on the multiple amplifier architecture
Miqueas E. Gamero, Guillermo Fernández Moroni, Fernando Chierchie +4
Low-noise detectors are a key technology for the next generation of astronomical instruments aimed at spectroscopy of faint objects and the search for exoplanets. In this context,…
Characterization of the Cherenkov Photon Background for Low-Noise Silicon Detectors in Space
Manuel E. Gaido, Javier Tiffenberg, Alex Drlica-Wagner +7
Future space observatories that seek to perform imaging and spectroscopy of faint astronomical sources will require ultra-low-noise detectors that are sensitive over a broad wavele…
