Cryogenic characterisation of the FBK NUV-HD-cryo Silicon Photomultipliers for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +298
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are highly promising detectors for dark matter searches due to their uniform response, scalability to large target masses, and compatib…
Measurement of the Ar specific activity in atmospheric argon with DArT at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
P. Agnes, H. O. Back, S. Bharat +41
We report the measurement of the Ar specific activity of atmospheric argon using DArT, a low-background single-phase liquid-argon detector read out by cryogenic silicon phot…
Measurement of the muon flux at SNOLAB using the DEAP-3600 experiment
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. Alpízar-Venegas +116
A direct measurement of the muon flux at SNOLAB is performed using the DEAP-3600 experiment, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB near Sudbury, Canada. Primarily designed for the dir…
Spectroscopic study of argon electroluminescence light with a wavelength-sensitive particle detector
R. Santorelli, V. Pesudo Fortes, G. Vera Díaz +5
We present a spectroscopic study of argon electroluminescence (EL) light in a gaseous time projection chamber (TPC). Using a compact detector equipped with photomultiplier tubes wi…
First evidence of neutrino absorption on argon using B solar neutrinos in DEAP-3600
P. Adhikari, P. -A. Amaudruz, D. J. Auty +113
We report experimental evidence for electron neutrino charged-current interactions (neutrino absorption, CC ) from B solar neutrinos on Ar using an exposure of ($…
Environmental -Ray Flux in Hall C at LNGS and Its Correlation with Radon Activity
L. Luzzi, R. Santorelli, G. Zuzel +8
We report a comprehensive measurement of the environmental -ray flux in Hall C of the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. A spatial mapping of the radiation was carried out using a…
The Darkside-20k Data Acquisition System
Fabio Acerbi, Pushparaj Adhikari, Paolo Agnes +289
DarkSide-20k is a WIMP search experiment using liquid argon as a target, designed to perform a background-free search for dark matter with unprecedented sensitivity, and is current…
Dark Matter Search with the DEAP-3600 Detector using the Profile Likelihood Ratio Method
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +122
We present here a search for WIMP dark matter using 790.8 live-days of data collected with 3269 kg of liquid argon (1266 kg fiducial) by the DEAP-3600 detector at SNOLAB, using the…
