In situ cryogenic characterization of proton damage in thick p-channel skipper CCDs
Brandon M. Roach, Brenda Cervantes Vergara, Alex Drlica-Wagner +14
Skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are an offshoot of standard silicon pixel detectors and are capable of performing repeated non-destructive charge measurements, enabling deepl…
X-ray characterization of fully-depleted p-channel Skipper-CCDs for the DarkNESS mission
Phoenix Alpine, Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +11
The Dark matter Nanosatellite Equipped with Skipper Sensors (DarkNESS) mission is a 6U CubeSat designed to search for X-ray lines from decaying dark matter using Skipper-CCDs. Thic…
The Spectroscopic Stage-5 Experiment
Robert Besuner, Arjun Dey, Alex Drlica-Wagner +106
The existence, properties, and dynamics of the dark sectors of our universe pose fundamental challenges to our current model of physics, and large-scale astronomical surveys may be…
Characterization of proton-induced damage in thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago E. Perez, Claudio R. Chavez +4
In this work, we characterize the radiation-induced damage in two thick, p-channel skipper-CCDs irradiated unbiased and at room temperature with 217-MeV protons. We evaluate the ov…
Effects of Proton Irradiation on the Performance of Skipper CCDs
Brandon Roach, Brenda A. Cervantes Vergara, Santiago Perez +3
Skipper CCDs are a mature detector technology that has been suggested for future space telescope instruments requiring sub-electron readout noise in the near-ultraviolet to the nea…
Astronomical Spectroscopy with Skipper CCDs: First Results from a Skipper CCD Focal Plane Prototype at SIFS
Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Brandon Roach +22
We present the first on-sky results from an ultra-low-readout-noise Skipper CCD focal plane prototype for the SOAR Integral Field Spectrograph (SIFS). The Skipper CCD focal plane c…
