The Electronics and Data Acquisition System of the DarkSide Dark Matter Search

The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, T. Alexander +143

It is generally inferred from astronomical measurements that Dark Matter (DM) comprises approximately 27\% of the energy-density of the universe. If DM is a subatomic particle, a p…
