Smart readout of nondestructive image sensors with single-photon sensitivity
Fernando Chierchie, Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Leandro Stefanazzi +5
Image sensors with nondestructive charge readout provide single-photon or single-electron sensitivity, but at the cost of long readout times. We present a smart readout technique t…
Characterization of the background spectrum in DAMIC at SNOLAB
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, I. Arnquist +31
We construct the first comprehensive radioactive background model for a dark matter search with charge-coupled devices (CCDs). We leverage the well-characterized depth and energy r…
Search for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at a nuclear reactor with CONNIE 2019 data
CONNIE collaboration, Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Javier Bernal +33
The Coherent Neutrino-Nucleus Interaction Experiment (CONNIE) is taking data at the Angra 2 nuclear reactor with the aim of detecting the coherent elastic scattering of reactor ant…
The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit): Readout and control for qubits and detectors
Leandro Stefanazzi, Ken Treptow, Neal Wilcer +12
We introduce a Xilinx RFSoC-based qubit controller (called the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK for short) which supports the direct synthesis of control pulses with ca…
The Skipper CCD for low-energy threshold particle experiments above ground
Guillermo Fernandez Moroni, Fernando Chierchie, Javier Tiffenberg +11
We present experimental results using a single-electron resolution Skipper-CCD running above ground level to demonstrate the potential of this technology for its use in reactor neu…
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…
