Low-energy threshold demonstration for dark matter searches in TREX-DM with an Ar source produced at CNA HiSPANoS
J. Castel, S. Cebrián, T. Dafni +16
We report on the successful implementation of an Ar calibration source in the TREX-DM detector, a high-pressure time projection chamber designed for low-mass dark matter sea…
Characterization of a radiation detector based on opaque water-based liquid scintillator
LiquidO Collaboration
We present the characterization of a novel radiation detector based on an opaque water-based liquid scintillator. Opaque scintillators, also known as LiquidO, are made to be highly…
Background discrimination with a Micromegas detector prototype and veto system for BabyIAXO
K. Altenmüller, J. F. Castel, S. Cebrián +22
In this paper we present measurements performed with a Micromegas X-ray detector setup. The detector is a prototype in the context of the BabyIAXO helioscope, which is under constr…
Searching for WIMPs with TREX-DM: achievements and challenges
Juan F. Castel, Susana Cebrián, Theopisti Dafni +15
The TREX-DM detector, a low background chamber with microbulk Micromegas readout, was commissioned in the underground laboratory of Canfranc (LSC) in 2018. Since then, data taking…
Purification Efficiency and Radon Emanation of Gas Purifiers used with Pure and Binary Gas Mixtures for Gaseous Dark Matter Detectors
K., Altenmüller, J. F. Castel +22
Rare event searches require extreme radiopurity in all detector components. This includes the active medium, which in the case of gaseous detectors, is the operating gas. The gases…
Axion search with BabyIAXO in view of IAXO
Javier Galan
Axions are a natural consequence of the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, the most compelling solution to the strong-CP problem. Similar axion-like particles (ALPs) also appear in a number o…
