Background of the BULLKID detector array operated with moderate shield on surface
D. Delicato, A. Acevedo-RenterÃa, M. Folcarelli +42
We present the operation with moderate radiation shield in a surface laboratory of BULLKID (BULky and Low-threshold Kinetic Inductance Detector), a cryogenic detector for searches…
Projected sensitivity to light WIMP-like particles of the BULLKID-DM experiment
Matteo Folcarelli, A. Acevedo-RenterÃa, L. E. Ardila-Perez +39
BULLKID-DM is an experiment designed for the direct searches of particle dark matter candidates with mass around 1 GeV, or below, and cross-section with nucleons smaller than $10^{…
Observation of Fine Structure in Channeling of Particles in Bent Crystals
A. Mazzolari, H. Backe, L. Bandiera +14
We observed highly efficient manipulation of the 530 MeV positron beam at Mainz Microtron via bent crystals. The low beam divergence revealed a fine structure in the angular distri…
Beam Steering and Radiation Generation of Electrons in Bent Crystals in the Sub-GeV Domain
R. Negrello, M. Romagnoni, A. Sytov +15
We present an investigation into beam steering and radiation emission by sub-GeV electrons traversing bent silicon crystals. Using 855, 600, and 300~MeV electron beams at the Mainz…
Strong Enhancement of Electromagnetic Shower Development in Oriented Scintillating Crystals and Implications for Particle Detectors
Mattia Soldani, Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Alessia Selmi +31
A particle traversing a crystal aligned with one of its crystallographic axes experiences a strong electromagnetic field that is constant along the direction of motion over macrosc…
Real-Time Readout System Design for the BULLKID-DM Experiment: Enhancing Dark Matter Search Capabilities
T. Muscheid, R. Gartmann, L. E. Ardila-Perez +41
The BULLKID-DM experiment aims to detect WIMP-like potential Dark Matter particles with masses below 1 GeV/c^2. Sensing these particles is challenging, as it requires nuclear recoi…
