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…
The Darkside-20k Data Acquisition System
Fabio Acerbi, Pushparaj Adhikari, Paolo Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a WIMP search experiment using liquid argon as a target, designed to perform a background-free search for dark matter with unprecedented sensitivity, and is current…
First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125
We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…
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…
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…
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…
Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM production for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a novel liquid argon dark matter detector currently under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclear…
Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
DarkSide-20k sensitivity to light dark matter particles
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +310
The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c. This was demons…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
