Micromegas for dark matter searches: CAST/IAXO & TREX-DM
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, J. F. Castel +14
The most compelling candidates for Dark Matter to day are WIMPs and axions. The applicability of gasesous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) with Micromesh Gas Structures (Micromegas)…
Low Background Micromegas in CAST
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, D. Calvet +22
Solar axions could be converted into x-rays inside the strong magnetic field of an axion helioscope, triggering the detection of this elusive particle. Low background x-ray detecto…
Conceptual Design of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
E. Armengaud, F. T. Avignone, M. Betz +85
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) will be a forth generation axion helioscope. As its primary physics goal, IAXO will look for axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) origin…
X-ray detection with Micromegas with background levels below 10 keVcms
S. Aune, F. Aznar, D. Calvet +26
Micromegas detectors are an optimum technological choice for the detection of low energy x-rays. The low background techniques applied to these detectors yielded remarkable backgro…
CAST microbulk micromegas in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
A. Tomás, S. Aune, T. Dafni +19
During the last taking data campaigns of the CAST experiment, the micromegas detectors have achieved background levels of keVcms betw…
The discrimination capabilities of Micromegas detectors at low energy
F. J. Iguaz, T. Dafni, E. Ferrer-Ribas +11
The latest generation of Micromegas detectors show a good energy resolution, spatial resolution and low threshold, which make them idoneous in low energy applications. Two micromeg…
Status of R&D on Micromegas for Rare Event Searches: The T-REX project
I. G. Irastorza, J. Castel, S. Cebrián +24
The T-REX project aims at developing novel readout techniques for Time Projection Chambers in experiments searching for rare events. The enhanced performance of the latest Micromeg…
