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…
X-ray characterization of fully-depleted p-channel Skipper-CCDs for the DarkNESS mission
Phoenix Alpine, Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +11
The Dark matter Nanosatellite Equipped with Skipper Sensors (DarkNESS) mission is a 6U CubeSat designed to search for X-ray lines from decaying dark matter using Skipper-CCDs. Thic…
From Light to Energy: Machine Learning Algorithms for Position and Energy Deposition Estimation in Scintillator-SiPM detectors
Yoav Simhon, Alex Segal, Ofer Amrani +1
Scintillator-SiPM Particle Detectors (SSPDs) are compact, low-power devices with applications including particle physics, underground tomography, cosmic-ray studies, and space inst…
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-…
IPPOG: a global network for particle physics outreach and education
IPPOG Collaboration
We present the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), a global network dedi- cated to connecting students, educators, and the general public with the world of parti…
