Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
Measurement of isotopic separation of argon with the prototype of the cryogenic distillation plant Aria for dark matter searches
20k Collaboration
The Aria cryogenic distillation plant, located in Sardinia, Italy, is a key component of the DarkSide-20k experimental program for WIMP dark matter searches at the INFN Laboratori…
Characterization of the scintillation time response of liquid argon detectors for dark matter search
P. Agnes, S. De Cecco, A. Fan +17
The scintillation time response of liquid argon has a key role in the discrimination of electronic backgrounds in dark matter search experiments. However, its extraordinary rejecti…
Measurement of the liquid argon energy response to nuclear and electronic recoils
P. Agnes, J. Dawson, S. De Cecco +26
A liquid argon time projection chamber, constructed for the Argon Response to Ionization and Scintillation (ARIS) experiment, has been exposed to the highly collimated and quasi-mo…
DarkSide-20k: A 20 Tonne Two-Phase LAr TPC for Direct Dark Matter Detection at LNGS
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +282
Building on the successful experience in operating the DarkSide-50 detector, the DarkSide Collaboration is going to construct DarkSide-20k, a direct WIMP search detector using a tw…
