Characterization of Germanium Detectors for the First Underground Laboratory in Mexico
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Alvarado-Mijangos, X. Bertou +21
This article reports the characterization of two High Purity Germanium detectors performed by extracting and comparing their efficiencies using experimental data and Monte Carlo si…
Dosimetry and calorimetry performance of a scientific CMOS camera for environmental monitoring
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou, Carles Canet +18
This paper explores the prospect of CMOS devices to assay lead in drinking water, using calorimetry. Lead occurs together with traces of radioisotopes, e.g. Lead-210, producing …
Constraints on dark matter-nucleon effective couplings in the presence of kinematically distinct halo substructures using the DEAP-3600 detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, C. E. Bina +81
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon detector aiming to directly detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), located at SNOLAB (Sudbury, Canada). After analyzing data…
SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range
The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312
Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…
Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon
The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328
Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…
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…
