The liquid-argon scintillation pulseshape in DEAP-3600
The DEAP collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +98
DEAP-3600 is a liquid-argon scintillation detector looking for dark matter. Scintillation events in the liquid argon (LAr) are registered by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and p…
Electromagnetic Backgrounds and Potassium-42 Activity in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Detector
R. Ajaj, G. R. Araujo, M. Batygov +88
The DEAP-3600 experiment is searching for WIMP dark matter with a 3.3 tonne single phase liquid argon (LAr) target, located 2.1 km underground at SNOLAB. The experimental signature…
Search for dark matter with a 231-day exposure of liquid argon using DEAP-3600 at SNOLAB
R. Ajaj, P. -A. Amaudruz, G. R. Araujo +99
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) direct-detection dark matter experiment, operating 2 km underground at SNOLAB (Sudbury, Canada). The detector consists of 3279 kg of…
Optical calibration hardware for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
B. A. Moffat, R. J. Ford, F. A. Duncan +6
The optical properties of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) heavy water Cherenkov neutrino detector are measured in situ using a light diffusing sphere ("laserball"). This dif…
