Cryogenic characterisation of the FBK NUV-HD-cryo Silicon Photomultipliers for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +298
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are highly promising detectors for dark matter searches due to their uniform response, scalability to large target masses, and compatib…
First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125
We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…
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…
Benchmarking the design of the cryogenics system for the underground argon in DarkSide-20k
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +315
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity a…
Atoms as electron accelerators for measuring the hadrons cross section
Fernando Arias-Aragón, Luc Darmé, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona +1
The hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to can be determined via dispersive methods from hadrons data. We propose a novel approach to measure the hadro…
DarkSide-20k sensitivity to light dark matter particles
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +310
The dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber is presently one of the leading technologies to search for dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV/c. This was demons…
A new hybrid gadolinium nanoparticles-loaded polymeric material for neutron detection in rare event searches
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +311
Experiments aimed at direct searches for WIMP dark matter require highly effective reduction of backgrounds and control of any residual radioactive contamination. In particular, ne…
Long-term temporal stability of the DarkSide-50 dark matter detector
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +142
The stability of a dark matter detector on the timescale of a few years is a key requirement due to the large exposure needed to achieve a competitive sensitivity. It is especially…
Study of cosmogenic activation above ground for the DarkSide-20k experiment
20k Collaboration
The activation of materials due to exposure to cosmic rays may become an important background source for experiments investigating rare event phenomena. DarkSide-20k, currently und…
Uncovering tau leptons-enriched semi-visible jets at the LHC
Hugues Beauchesne, Cesare Cazzaniga, Annapaola de Cosa +4
This Letter proposes a new signature for confining dark sectors at the Large Hadron Collider. Under the assumption of a QCD-like hidden sector, hadronic jets containing stable dark…
Indirect new physics effects on confront the window discrepancies and the CMD-3 result
Luc Darmé, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Enrico Nardi
Recent lattice determinations of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment have confirmed the discrepancy with the data-dr…
Theory, phenomenology, and experimental avenues for dark showers: a Snowmass 2021 report
Guillaume Albouy, Jared Barron, Hugues Beauchesne +51
In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends the Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These extensions…

Luc Darmé, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona, Enrico Nardi
The 4.2 discrepancy between the standard model prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the experimental result is accompanied by other anomalies. A crucial i…

Future experiments dedicated to the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering may be powerful tools in probing light new physics. In this paper we study the sensiti…
Event-level variables for semivisible jets using anomalous jet tagging
Hugues Beauchesne, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona
Semivisible jets are a characteristic signature of many confining dark sectors and consist of jets of visible hadrons intermixed with invisible stable particles. Since their initia…
Dark Photon bounds in the dark EFT
Daniele Barducci, Enrico Bertuzzo, Giovanni Grilli di Cortona +1
Dark photons are massive abelian gauge bosons that interact with ordinary photons via a kinetic mixing with the hypercharge field strength tensor. This theory is probed by a variet…
