Dark Matter Search with the DEAP-3600 Detector using the Profile Likelihood Ratio Method
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +122
We present here a search for WIMP dark matter using 790.8 live-days of data collected with 3269 kg of liquid argon (1266 kg fiducial) by the DEAP-3600 detector at SNOLAB, using the…
Design of a high voltage delivery system for noble liquid time projection chambers
R. Saldanha, L. Pagani, E. Angelico +129
Noble liquid time projection chambers (TPCs) are a leading technology in the detection of ionizing radiation, particularly in applications such as accelerator neutrino physics, dar…
Demonstrating a broadband Photon Detection Efficiency model on VUV sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers
Austin de St Croix, Harry Lewis, Kurtis Raymond +5
We present a versatile analytic model describing Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE) for P-on-N silicon photomultipliers, with possible applications for device characterization, PDE…
Ultra-sensitive radon assay using an electrostatic chamber in a recirculating system
nEXO Collaboration, A. Anker, P. A. Breur +138
Rare event searches such as neutrinoless double beta decay and Weakly Interacting Massive Particle detection require ultra-low background detectors. Radon contamination is a signif…
