EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
He-CF4-CH4 ternary mixtures as target gas for the CYGNO directional dark matter experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
The CYGNO collaboration is advancing a high-resolution optical Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for directional dark matter searches and solar neutrino spectroscopy at LNGS. The detec…
Characterization of field cage and cathode for low radioactivity operation with the CYGNO experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +48
Dark matter, which is considered to account for approximately the 27% of the Universe's energy-mass content, remains an open issue in modern particle physics along with its composi…
Fast reconstruction-based ROI triggering via anomaly detection in the CYGNO optical TPC
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
Optical-readout Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) produce megapixel-scale images whose fine-grained topological information is essential for rare-event searches, but whose size chall…
Characterization of cutting-edge CMOS Active Pixel sensors within the CYGNO Experiment
B. D. Almeida, F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti +43
Time Projection Chambers equipped with Gas Electron Multipliers and optical readout by scientific CMOS cameras are a promising technology for low-energy particle detection, as demo…
Bayesian network 3D event reconstruction in the Cygno optical TPC for dark matter direct detection
Fernando Domingues Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +50
The CYGNO experiment is developing a high-resolution gaseous Time Projection Chamber with optical readout for directional dark matter searches. The detector uses a helium-tetrafluo…
