Study of cosmogenic activation above ground for the DarkSide-20k experiment
20k Collaboration
The activation of materials due to exposure to cosmic rays may become an important background source for experiments investigating rare event phenomena. DarkSide-20k, currently und…
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…
Measurement of the ion fraction and mobility of Po produced in Rn decays in liquid argon
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +163
We report measurements of the charged daughter fraction of Po as a result of the Rn alpha decay, and the mobility of Po ions, using radon-polonium coinc…
The Electronics and Data Acquisition System of the DarkSide Dark Matter Search
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, T. Alexander +143
It is generally inferred from astronomical measurements that Dark Matter (DM) comprises approximately 27\% of the energy-density of the universe. If DM is a subatomic particle, a p…
First Commissioning of a Cryogenic Distillation Column for Low Radioactivity Underground Argon
H. O. Back, T. Alexander, A. Alton +11
We report on the performance and commissioning of a cryogenic distillation column for low radioactivity underground argon at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The distillation…
Light Yield in DarkSide-10: a Prototype Two-phase Liquid Argon TPC for Dark Matter Searches
T. Alexander, D. Alton, K. Arisaka +119
As part of the DarkSide program of direct dark matter searches using liquid argon TPCs, a prototype detector with an active volume containing 10 kg of liquid argon, DarkSide-10, wa…
