The CYGNO experiment: a gaseous TPC with optical readout for rare events searches
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +39
The CYGNO collaboration is developing a novel strategy for directional Dark Matter searches based on a gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC). The detector is optimized for the expl…
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…
Fast reconstruction-based ROI triggering via anomaly detection in the CYGNO optical TPC
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
Optical-readout Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) produce megapixel-scale images whose fine-grained topological information is essential for rare-event searches, but whose size chall…
Characterization of cutting-edge CMOS Active Pixel sensors within the CYGNO Experiment
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…
Bayesian network 3D event reconstruction in the Cygno optical TPC for dark matter direct detection
Fernando Domingues Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +50
The CYGNO experiment is developing a high-resolution gaseous Time Projection Chamber with optical readout for directional dark matter searches. The detector uses a helium-tetrafluo…
