The veto system of the DarkSide-50 experiment
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, L. Agostino +158
Nuclear recoil events produced by neutron scatters form one of the most important classes of background in WIMP direct detection experiments, as they may produce nuclear recoils th…
A Prototype Neutron Veto for Dark Matter Detectors
Shawn Westerdale, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice
Neutrons are a particularly dangerous background for direct WIMP dark matter searches; their nuclear recoils with the target nucleus are often indistinguishable from nuclear recoil…
A test of electric charge conservation with Borexino
Borexino Collaboration, M. Agostini, S. Appel +95
Borexino is a liquid scintillation detector located deep underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS, Italy). Thanks to the unmatched radio-purity of the scintilla…
Measurement of neutrino flux from the primary proton--proton fusion process in the Sun with Borexino detector
O. Y. Smirnov, M. Agostini, S. Appel +94
Neutrino produced in a chain of nuclear reactions in the Sun starting from the fusion of two protons, for the first time has been detected in a real-time detector in spectrometric…
Spectroscopy of geo-neutrinos from 2056 days of Borexino data
Borexino collaboration, M. Agostini, S. Appel +99
We report an improved geo-neutrino measurement with Borexino from 2056 days of data taking. The present exposure is protonyr. Assuming a chondrit…
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…
