Analysis of a Conforming Finite Element Method for Second-Harmonic Generation Scattering
Ansh Desai, Peter Monk
In the frequency domain, nonlinear acoustic and electromagnetic wave propagation can, in certain regimes, be modeled by second-harmonic generation systems consisting of two coupled…
Characterization of Spurious Charge in SENSEI Skipper-CCDs
Yikai Wu, Ansh Desai, Sho Uemura +16
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are a leading technology in the search for sub-GeV dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. A key background for…
Earth-Scattering Induced Modulation in Low-Threshold Dark Matter Experiments
Xavier Bertou, Ansh Desai, Timon Emken +3
Dark matter particles with sufficiently large interactions with ordinary matter can scatter in the Earth before reaching and scattering in a detector. This induces a modulation in…
Charge Trap Analysis in a SENSEI Skipper-CCD: Understanding Low-Energy Backgrounds in Rare-Event Searches
Agustin Brusco, Bruno Sivilotti, Ana M. Botti +14
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are ultra-low-threshold detectors capable of detecting energy deposits in silicon at the eV scale. Increasingly used in rare-event sea…
SENSEI: A Search for Diurnal Modulation in sub-GeV Dark Matter Scattering
Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti, Mariano Cababie +28
Dark matter particles with sufficiently large interactions with ordinary matter can scatter in the Earth's atmosphere and crust before reaching an underground detector. This Earth-…
A Neural Network Enhanced Born Approximation for Inverse Scattering
Ansh Desai, Jonathan Ma, Timo Lahivaara +1
Time-harmonic acoustic inverse scattering concerns the ill-posed and nonlinear problem of determining the refractive index of an inaccessible, penetrable scatterer based on far fie…
