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…
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…
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…
