The DarkLight Experiment at TRIUMF
R. Alarcon, D. Almonte, M. I. Alstaty +60
This paper reports on the commissioning of the DarkLight experiment at the ARIEL superconducting electron linear accelerator located at TRIUMF in Vancouver, Canada. DarkLight was d…
A novel approach to building micromegas detectors enabled by precision manufacturing
J. Holmes, E. Galyaev, R. Alarcon +5
Micromegas detectors are a relatively modern design concept for micropattern gas detectors, designed to handle high particle flux while providing high gain, high spatial resolution…
A New Cryogenic Apparatus to Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
M. W. Ahmed, R. Alarcon, A. Aleksandrova +91
A cryogenic apparatus is described that enables a new experiment, nEDM@SNS, with a major improvement in sensitivity compared to the existing limit in the search for a neutron Elect…
Design and Operation of a Windowless Gas Target Internal to a Solenoidal Magnet for Use with a Megawatt Electron Beam
S. Lee, R. Corliss, I. Friščić +37
A windowless hydrogen gas target of nominal thickness cm is an essential component of the DarkLight experiment, which is designed to utilize the megawatt electron…
Performance of new silica aerogels in a threshold Cerenkov counter
D. Blyth, R. Alarcon, R. Begag +2
New highly transparent, hydrophobic silica aerogels with refractive indices of 1.01 to 1.07 have been produced by Aspen Aerogels, Inc., and select tiles have been tested using an e…
The DarkLight Experiment: A Precision Search for New Physics at Low Energies
J. Balewski, J. Bernauer, J. Bessuille +37
We describe the current status of the DarkLight experiment at Jefferson Laboratory. DarkLight is motivated by the possibility that a dark photon in the mass range 10 to 100 MeV/c$^…
The OLYMPUS Experiment
R. Milner, D. K. Hasell, M. Kohl +70
The OLYMPUS experiment was designed to measure the ratio between the positron-proton and electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections, with the goal of determining the contrib…
