Light Dark Matter Constraints from SuperCDMS HVeV Detectors Operated Underground with an Anticoincidence Event Selection

SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +139

This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in t…

Neutron capture-induced silicon nuclear recoils for dark matter and CENS

K. Harris, A. Gevorgian, A. J. Biffl +1

Following neutron capture in a material there will be prompt nuclear recoils in addition to the gamma cascade. The nuclear recoils that are left behind in materials are generally b…

Neutron capture-induced nuclear recoils as background for CENS~measurements at reactors

A. J. Biffl, A. Gevorgian, K. Harris +1

Nuclear reactors represent a promising neutrino source for CENS (coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering) searches. However, reactor sites also come with high ambient neutr…

The Data Behind Dark Matter: Exploring Galactic Rotation

A. N. Villano, Kitty C. Harris, Judit Bergfalk +3

Dark matter is estimated to make up ~84% of all normal/baryonic matter, but cannot be directly imaged. Despite the fact that dark matter cannot be directly observed yet, its influe…

First observation of isolated nuclear recoils following neutron capture for dark matter calibration

A. N. Villano, M. Fritts, N. Mast +4

Low-energy nuclear recoils (NRs) are hard to measure because they produce few e/h pairs in solids -- i.e. they have low "ionization yield". A silicon detector was exposed…

-- A simulation tool for nuclear recoil cascades resulting from neutron capture

Anthony Villano, Kitty Harris, Staci Brown

Neutron capture-induced nuclear recoils have emerged as an important tool for detector calibrations in direct dark matter detection and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering…
