EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
Characterization of the background spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, I. Arnquist +31
We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth and energy r…
Results on Low-Mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles from a 11 kg d Target Exposure of DAMIC at SNOLAB (ICRC2021 Proceedings)
Michelangelo Traina
Experimental efforts of the last decades have been unsuccessful in detecting WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) in the 10-to-10 GeV/ range, thus motivating the s…
Calibration of the liquid argon ionization response to low energy electronic and nuclear recoils with DarkSide-50
The DarkSide collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +136
DarkSide-50 has demonstrated the high potential of dual-phase liquid argon time projection chambers in exploring interactions of WIMPs in the GeV/c mass range. The technique, b…
A study of events with photoelectric emission in the DarkSide-50 liquid argon Time Projection Chamber
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +135
Finding unequivocal evidence of dark matter interactions in a particle detector is a major objective of physics research. Liquid argon time projection chambers offer a path to prob…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
