Exploring Low Energy Excess in MINER with sapphire detectors using Convolutional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE)
D. Mondal, W. Baker, M. Chaudhuri +19
As cryogenic detectors push toward ever-lower energy thresholds, their sensitivity is increasingly constrained by a persistent low-energy background known as the low-energy excess…
CENS Search with Cryogenic Sapphire Detectors at MINER: Results from the TRIGA reactor data and Future Sensitivity at HFIR
D. Mondal, W. Baker, M. Chaudhuri +20
We report on a search for coherent elastic neutrino--nucleus scattering (CENS) using cryogenic sapphire (AlO) detectors deployed at the Mitchell Institute Neutrino Exper…
MINER Reactor Based Search for Axion-Like Particles Using Sapphire (Al2O3) Detectors
M. Mirzakhani, W. Baker, M. Chaudhuri +20
The absence of definitive results for WIMP dark matter has sparked growing interest in alternative dark matter candidates, such as axions and Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), which als…
Germanium and Silicon Detectors for WIMP Searches: Key Experimental Insights
M. Mirzakhani, S. Maludze
Dark matter plays a crucial role in our comprehension of the universe, but its mysterious nature poses challenges for direct detection. A primary obstacle in detecting dark matter…
Reactor-based Search for Axion-Like Particles using CsI(Tl) Detector
S. Sahoo, S. Verma, M. Mirzakhani +5
The absence of conclusive signals in weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches has motivated increased interest in alternative dark matter candidates such as axions and a…
Measurement of Low Energy Nuclear Recoil Events with the phonon-mediated Voltage-Assisted Hybrid Detector for Rare Event Searches
Sandro Maludze, Mahdi Mirzakhani, William Baker +7
The phonon-mediated hybrid detector is made out of a monolithic silicon crystal characterized by two interconnected regions linked through a narrow neck. Operating solely on phonon…
Testing Meson Portal Dark Sector Solutions to the MiniBooNE Anomaly at CCM
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
A solution to the MiniBooNE excess invoking rare three-body decays of the charged pions and kaons to new states in the MeV mass scale was recently proposed as a dark-sector explana…
Development of a large-mass, low-threshold detector system with simultaneous measurements of athermal phonons and scintillation light
M. Chaudhuri, G. Agnolet, V. Iyer +10
We have combined two low-threshold detector technologies to develop a large-mass, low-threshold detector system that simultaneously measures the athermal phonons in a sapphire dete…
Large-mass, low-threshold sapphire detector for rare event searches
S. Verma, S. Maludze, M. Lee +12
Low mass nuclear recoil dark matter and coherent-elastic-neutrino-nucleus-scattering (CENNS) searches confront similar challenges in choosing ultra-low threshold and large-mass det…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
A novel active veto prototype detector with an inner target for improved rare event searches
M. Chaudhuri, A. Jastram, G. Agnolet +13
We report the fabrication and performance of an annular, cryogenic, phonon-mediated veto detector that can host an inner target detector, allowing substantial reduction in radiogen…
Prospects for detecting axionlike particles at the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills experiment
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. S. M. Alves, S. Biedron +45
We show results from the Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) 2019 engineering run which begin to constrain regions of parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in electroma…
