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…
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…
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…
Readout electronics for low occupancy High-Pressure Gas TPCs
N. Khan, Y. Hua, I. Xiotidis +36
HPgTPCs have benefits such as low energy threshold, magnetisability, and 4 acceptance, making them ideal for neutrino experiments such as DUNE. We present the design of an FPGA-…
