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 (…
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…
Position Reconstruction in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search Experiment
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +162
In the DEAP-3600 dark matter search experiment, precise reconstruction of the positions of scattering events in liquid argon is key for background rejection and defining a fiducial…
Relative Measurement and Extrapolation of the Scintillation Quenching Factor of -Particles in Liquid Argon using DEAP-3600 Data
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. AlpÃzar-Venegas +101
The knowledge of scintillation quenching of -particles plays a paramount role in understanding -induced backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid argon-based dire…
Direct Measurement of the Ar Half-life from 3.4 Years of Data with the DEAP-3600 Detector
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +114
The half-life of Ar is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector located 2 km underground at SNOLAB. Between 2016 and 2020, DEAP-3600 used a target mass of (3269 24) kg of…
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…
