US Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter 2017: Community Report
Marco Battaglieri, Alberto Belloni, Aaron Chou +248
This white paper summarizes the workshop "U.S. Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter" held at University of Maryland on March 23-25, 2017.
Measurement of low energy ionization signals from Compton scattering in a CCD dark matter detector
K. Ramanathan, A. Kavner, A. E. Chavarria +8
An important source of background in direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles are the energy deposits by small-angle scattering of environmental rays. We report detai…
Single-electron and single-photon sensitivity with a silicon Skipper CCD
Javier Tiffenberg, Miguel Sofo-Haro, Alex Drlica-Wagner +5
We have developed a non-destructive readout system that uses a floating-gate amplifier on a thick, fully depleted charge coupled device (CCD) to achieve ultra-low readout noise of…
A measurement of the ionization efficiency of nuclear recoils in silicon
F. Izraelevitch, D. Amidei, A. Aprahamian +26
We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform…
