Sources of Low-Energy Events in Low-Threshold Dark Matter and Neutrino Detectors
Peizhi Du, Daniel Egana-Ugrinovic, Rouven Essig +1
We discuss several low-energy backgrounds to sub-GeV dark matter searches, which arise from high-energy particles of cosmic or radioactive origin that interact with detector materi…
An Update to the Letter of Intent for MATHUSLA: Search for Long-Lived Particles at the HL-LHC
Cristiano Alpigiani, Juan Carlos Arteaga-Velázquez, Austin Ball +80
We report on recent progress in the design of the proposed MATHUSLA Long Lived Particle (LLP) detector for the HL-LHC, updating the information in the original Letter of Intent (Lo…
Exploring New Physics with O(keV) Electron Recoils in Direct Detection Experiments
Itay M. Bloch, Andrea Caputo, Rouven Essig +3
Motivated by the recent XENON1T results, we explore various new physics models that can be discovered through searches for electron recoils in O(keV)-threshold direct-detection exp…
SENSEI: Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from a New Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Mariano Cababie +20
We present the first direct-detection search for eV-to-GeV dark matter using a new ~2-gram high-resistivity Skipper-CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for da…
LBECA: A Low Background Electron Counting Apparatus for Sub-GeV Dark Matter Detection
A. Bernstein, M. Clark, R. Essig +12
Two-phase noble liquid detectors, with large target masses and effective background reduction, are currently leading the dark matter direct detection for WIMP masses above a few Ge…
