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,…
X-ray characterization of fully-depleted p-channel Skipper-CCDs for the DarkNESS mission
Phoenix Alpine, Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +11
The Dark matter Nanosatellite Equipped with Skipper Sensors (DarkNESS) mission is a 6U CubeSat designed to search for X-ray lines from decaying dark matter using Skipper-CCDs. Thic…
