Characterisation of silicon photomultipliers in a dilution refrigerator down to 9.4 mK towards a cryogenic cosmic-ray muon veto system
DMC Collaboration, A. Kemp, S. Autti +30
We report the characterisation of a FBK NUV-HD-cryo silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensor operated in a 9.4 0.2 mK environment inside a dilution refrigerator, towards the dev…
Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Development of superfluid helium-3 bolometry using nanowire resonators with SQUID readout for the QUEST-DMC experiment
DMC Collaboration, E. Leason, L. V. Levitin +28
Superfluid helium-3 bolometers can be utilised for dark matter direct detection searches. The extremely low heat capacity of the B phase of the superfluid helium-3 at ultra-low tem…
Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144
Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +301
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projectio…
Dark Matter EFT Landscape Probed by QUEST-DMC
DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27
We present the projected sensitivity to non-relativistic Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators for Dark Matter (DM) direct detection using the QUEST-DMC experiment. QUEST-DMC empl…
Fermionic sub-GeV Dark Matter from evaporating Primordial Black Holes at DarkSide-50
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +125
We present a search for boosted dark matter from Primordial Black Holes (PBH) evaporation using the DarkSide-50 ionization-signal-only dataset corresponding to the experiment's ($1…
Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
Flow and thermal modelling of the argon volume in the DarkSide-20k TPC
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +300
The DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, features a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with a ~50 t argon target from an underground wel…
Dark Matter Attenuation Effects: Sensitivity Ceilings for Spin-Dependent and Spin-Independent Interactions
DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, J. Smirnov +27
Direct detection experiments aimed at uncovering the elusive nature of dark matter (DM) have made significant progress in probing ever lower cross-sections for DM-nucleon interacti…
Direct Measurement of the Ar Half-life from 3.4 Years of Data with the DEAP-3600 Detector
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +114
The half-life of Ar is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector located 2 km underground at SNOLAB. Between 2016 and 2020, DEAP-3600 used a target mass of (3269 24) kg of…
