Quenching Measurements and Modeling of a Boron-Loaded Organic Liquid Scintillator
Shawn Westerdale, Jingke Xu, Emily Shields +13
Organic liquid scintillators are used in a wide variety of applications in experimental nuclear and particle physics. Boron-loaded scintillators are particularly useful for detecti…
A measurement of the ionization efficiency of nuclear recoils in silicon
F. Izraelevitch, D. Amidei, A. Aprahamian +26
We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform…
Scintillation efficiency measurement of Na recoils in NaI(Tl) below the DAMA/LIBRA energy threshold
Jingke Xu, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice +18
The dark matter interpretation of the DAMA modulation signal depends on the NaI(Tl) scintillation efficiency of nuclear recoils. Previous measurements for Na recoils have large dis…
Measurement of Scintillation and Ionization Yield and Scintillation Pulse Shape from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon
H. Cao, T. Alexander, A. Aprahamian +32
We have measured the scintillation and ionization yield of recoiling nuclei in liquid argon as a function of applied electric field by exposing a dual-phase liquid argon time proje…
Observation of the Dependence of Scintillation from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon on Drift Field
T. Alexander, H. O. Back, H. Cao +27
We have exposed a dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) to a low energy pulsed narrowband neutron beam, produced at the Notre Dame Institute for Structure and N…
