Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +301
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projectio…
Impact of extreme ultraviolet radiation on the scintillation of pure and xenon-doped liquid argon
P. Agnes, Q. Berger, M. Bomben +25
The Xenon-Argon Technology (X-ArT) collaboration presents a study on the dynamics of pure and xenon-doped liquid argon (LAr) scintillation. Using two types of silicon photomultipli…
New candidate polymeric wavelength shifters for noble liquid detectors
M. Kuźniak, S. Choudhary, S. PawÅowski +8
Polymeric wavelength shifters are of particular interest for large liquid argon detectors. Inspired by the success of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), other new polymers exhibiting…
Production of GEM-like structures using laser-cutting techniques
L. M. Ramos, A. F. V. Cortez, M. Kuźniak +5
To enhance the ionization yield of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC) used in dark matter and neutrino experiments it was proposed the use of dopants in LAr, with ioniz…
X-ray Single-Pixel Imaging with MPGD-based detectors
M. Simões, P. Vaz, A. F. V. Cortez
X-ray imaging is an invaluable tool for noninvasive analysis in many fields ranging from basic science to medicine and security. The development of low-dose large area imaging solu…
