Fluorescence of pyrene-doped polystyrene films from room temperature down to 4 K for wavelength-shifting applications
H. Benmansour, E. Ellingwood, Q. Hars +13
In liquid argon-based particle detectors, slow wavelength shifters (WLSs) could be used alongside the common, nanosecond scale, WLS tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) for background mitig…
Development and characterization of a slow wavelength shifting coating for background rejection in liquid argon detectors
D. Gallacher, A. Leonhardt, H. Benmansour +15
We describe a technique, applicable to liquid-argon-based dark matter detectors, allowing for discrimination of alpha-decays in detector regions with incomplete light collection fr…
First direct detection constraints on Planck-scale mass dark matter with multiple-scatter signatures using the DEAP-3600 detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, M. Alpízar-Venegas +94
Dark matter particles with Planck-scale mass () arise in well-motivated theories and could be produced by several cosmological mechanisms. Using a blin…
Direct comparison of PEN and TPB wavelength shifters in a liquid argon detector
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +26
A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distan…
Pulseshape discrimination against low-energy Ar-39 beta decays in liquid argon with 4.5 tonne-years of DEAP-3600 data
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +126
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from Ar b…
Separating Ar from Ar by cryogenic distillation with Aria for dark matter searches
DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, S. Albergo +309
The Aria project consists of a plant, hosting a 350 m cryogenic isotopic distillation column, the tallest ever built, which is currently in the installation phase in a mine shaft a…
