Towards Quantum-Dot Detectors as Barcodes for Dark Matter Interactions
Marek Matas, Andrea Gallo Rosso, Antonio Cammarata +6
Quantum dots are tunable semiconductor nanocrystals that can be produced at industrial scales. We present the first ab initio calculation of the scattering of dark matter on electr…

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…

First operation of a multi-channel Q-Pix prototype: measuring transverse electron diffusion in a gas time projection chamber
Nora Hoch, Olivia Seidel, Varghese A. Chirayath +19
We report measurements of the transverse diffusion of electrons in P-10 gas (90% Ar, 10% CH4) in a laboratory-scale time projection chamber (TPC) utilizing a novel pixelated signal…
