First Optical Observation of Negative Ion Drift at Surface Pressure
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
We report the first observation of Negative Ion Drift (NID) at surface pressure of mbar at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in a He:CF:SF mixture using an op…
Trigger Optimization and Event Classification for Dark Matter Searches in the CYGNO Experiment Using Machine Learning
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +40
The CYGNO experiment employs an optical-readout Time Projection Chamber (TPC) to search for rare low-energy interactions using finely resolved scintillation images. While the optic…

B. D. Almeida, F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti +43
Time Projection Chambers equipped with Gas Electron Multipliers and optical readout by scientific CMOS cameras are a promising technology for low-energy particle detection, as demo…
Characterization of field cage and cathode for low radioactivity operation with the CYGNO experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +48
Dark matter, which is considered to account for approximately the 27% of the Universe's energy-mass content, remains an open issue in modern particle physics along with its composi…
