COCOA: a compact Compton camera for astrophysical observation of MeV-scale gamma rays
LiquidO Collaboration, S. R. Soleti, J. J. Gómez-Cadenas +89
COCOA (COmpact COmpton cAmera) is a next-generation gamma-ray telescope designed for astrophysical observations in the MeV energy range. The detector comprises a scatterer volume e…
Digging into Axion Physics with (Baby)IAXO
T. Dafni, J. Galan
Dark Matter searches have been ongoing for three decades; the lack of a positive discovery of the main candidate, the WIMP, after dedicated efforts, has put axions and axion-like-p…
Background assessment for the TREX Dark Matter experiment
J. Castel, S. Cebrian, I. Coarasa +8
TREX-DM is conceived to look for low-mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using a gas Time Projection Chamber equipped with micromegas readout planes at the Canfranc U…
Lowering the background level and the energy threshold of Micromegas x-ray detectors for axion searches
F. J. Iguaz, S. Aune, F. Aznar +14
Axion helioscopes search for solar axions by their conversion in x-rays in the presence of high magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential component…
Background optimization for a new spherical gas detector for very light WIMP detection
Ali Dastgheibi-Fard, I. Giomataris, G. Gerbierb +13
The Spherical gaseous detector (or Spherical Proportional Counter, SPC) is a novel type of par- ticle detector, with a broad range of applications. Its main features include a very…
NEWS : a new spherical gas detector for very low mass WIMP detection
G. Gerbier, I. Giomataris, P. Magnier +10
The main characteristics of a new concept of spherical gaseous detectors, with some details on its operation are first given. The very low energy threshold of such detector has led…
