Cryogenic characterisation of the FBK NUV-HD-cryo Silicon Photomultipliers for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +298
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are highly promising detectors for dark matter searches due to their uniform response, scalability to large target masses, and compatib…
Reducing simulation-related emissions in rare-event searches through optimised event biasing
P. Knights, L. J. Milligan, K. Nikolopoulos
Rare-event search experiments continue to extend their sensitivities to unprecedented levels. This requires increasingly small backgrounds, and shielding schemes that can suppress…
Optimisation of importance sampling implementation in rare-event shielding simulations using Geant4
P. Knights, L. J. Milligan, K. Nikolopoulos
Rare-event search experiments demand ever-lower backgrounds, and the resulting radio-pure materials and suppressive shielding make related background simulations computationally ex…
Overlap-aware segmentation for topological reconstruction of obscured objects
J. Schueler, H. M. Araújo, S. N. Balashov +30
The separation of overlapping objects presents a significant challenge in scientific imaging. While deep learning segmentation-regression algorithms can predict pixel-wise intensit…
Design of high-strength, radiopure, electroformed copper-based alloys for rare-event searches: Impact of layer configuration on heat treatments
D. Spathara, P. Knights, K. Nikolopoulos
State-of-the-art and next-generation rare-event search experiments rely on detector materials with stringent requirements on radiopurity and mechanical performance. Additive-free e…
Materials Design for the Synthesis of High Strength Radiopure Copper Alloys for Rare Event Detection
Dimitra Spathara, Patrick Knights, Konstantinos Nikolopoulos
Additive-free electroformed copper has emerged as the material of choice in exceptionally radiopure detectors for rare-event searches, based on its radiopurity, physical properties…
Searches for light Dark Matter with Spherical Proportional Counters
Patrick Knights, Konstantinos Nikolopoulos
Elucidating the nature of dark matter is a key priority that would involve discovering new fundamental physics and is essential for understanding the structure and evolution of the…
Transforming a rare event search into a not-so-rare event search in real-time with deep learning-based object detection
J. Schueler, H. M. Araújo, S. N. Balashov +40
Deep learning-based object detection algorithms enable the simultaneous classification and localization of any number of objects in image data. Many of these algorithms are capable…
Ionisation quenching factors from W-values in pure gases for rare event searches
Ioannis Katsioulas, Patrick Knights, Konstantinos Nikolopoulos
The effect of ionisation quenching for ions is critical for experiments relying on the measurement of low energy recoils, such as direct Dark Matter searches. We present ionisation…
