Cosmic Ray Boosted Dark Matter in COSINUS: Modeling and Constraints
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +41
Direct detection of nuclear recoils due to sub-GeV dark matter is challenging because of the small kinetic energy of the light dark matter particles. Although limits down to a few…

First measurement of GaAs as a scintillating calorimeter: achievements and prospects
A. Melchiorre, D. L. Helis, A. Puiu +23
In this paper we present the first measurement of a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) crystal as a scintillating calorimeter with dual heat and light readout within the DAREDEVIL project. Th…
