Effect of Low Electric Fields on Alpha Scintillation Light Yield in Liquid Argon
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +158
Measurements were made of scintillation light yield of alpha particles from the Rn decay chain within the DarkSide-50 liquid argon time projection chamber. The light yield…
Cosmic-muon characterization and annual modulation measurement with Double Chooz detectors
T. Abrahão, H. Almazan, J. C. dos Anjos +107
A study on cosmic muons has been performed for the two identical near and far neutrino detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, placed at 120 and 300 m.w.e. undergroun…
CALIS - a CALibration Insertion System for the DarkSide-50 dark matter search experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +162
This paper describes the design, fabrication, commissioning and use of a CALibration source Insertion System (CALIS) in the DarkSide-50 direct dark matter search experiment. CALIS…
The Electronics and Data Acquisition System for the DarkSide-50 Veto Detectors
P. Agnes, L. Agostino, I. F. M. Albuquerque +155
DarkSide-50 is a detector for dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). It utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) for t…
A compact light readout system for longitudinally segmented shashlik calorimeters
A. Berra, C. Brizzolari, S. Cecchini +17
The longitudinal segmentation of shashlik calorimeters is challenged by dead zones and non-uniformities introduced by the light collection and readout system. This limitation can b…
Characterization of the Spontaneous Light Emission of the PMTs used in the Double Chooz Experiment
Double Chooz collaboration, Y. Abe, T. Abrahão +146
During the commissioning of the first of the two detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, an unexpected and dominant background caused by the emission of light inside the optical…
