Towards a quantum realization of the ampere using single-electron resolution Skipper-CCDs
Miqueas Gamero, Agustin Lapi, Blas Irigoyen Gimenez +7
This paper presents a proof-of-concept demonstration of the Skipper-CCD, a sensor with single-electron counting capability, as a promising technology for implementing an electron-p…
Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
Analog pile-up circuit technique using a single capacitor for the readout of Skipper-CCD detectors
Miguel Sofo Haro, Claudio Chavez, Jose Lipovetzky +8
With Skipper-CCD detectors it is possible to take multiple samples of the charge packet collected on each pixel. After averaging the samples, the noise can be extremely reduced all…
SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti +22
We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the orig…
Smart-readout of the Skipper-CCD: Achieving Sub-electron Noise Levels in Regions of Interest
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +7
The skipper CCD is a special type of charge coupled device in which the readout noise can be reduced to sub-electron levels by averaging independent measurements of the same charge…
Measurement of the bulk radioactive contamination of detector-grade silicon with DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, D. Baxter +28
We present measurements of bulk radiocontaminants in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs from the DAMIC at SNOLAB experiment. We utilize the exquisite spatial resolution of CCDs to d…
