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…
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…
A compact, low-power epithermal neutron counter for lunar water detection
Julian Cuevas-Zepeda, Phoenix Alpine, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +7
The detection and characterization of lunar water are critical for enabling sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon. Orbital neutron spectrometers, such as instrument…
