Construction and measurements of a vacuum-swing-adsorption radon-mitigation system
R. W. Schnee, R. Bunker, G. Ghulam +3
Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the Rn decay chain on (and near) detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter…
The BetaCage, an ultra-sensitive screener for surface contamination
R. Bunker, Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles +8
Material screening for identifying low-energy electron emitters and alpha-decaying isotopes is now a prerequisite for rare-event searches (e.g., dark-matter direct detection and ne…
A prototype low-background multiwire proportional chamber for measuring alphas and low-energy betas
Z. Ahmed, M. A. Bowles, R. Bunker +9
A prototype multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) was developed to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a radiopure time projection chamber with MWPC track readout to assay…
Predicting Reactor Antineutrino Emissions Using New Precision Beta Spectroscopy
D. Asner, K. A. Burns, B. Greenfield +5
A conceptual experimental method for providing a new measurement of the underlying beta decay spectra from fission products is presented. The goal is to provide additional informat…
Silicon Detector Dark Matter Results from the Final Exposure of CDMS II
CDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, Z. Ahmed +88
We report results of a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPS) with the silicon detectors of the CDMS II experiment. This blind analysis of 140.2 kg-days of data ta…
Silicon detector results from the first five-tower run of CDMS II
CDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, Z. Ahmed +87
We report results of a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with the Si detectors of the CDMS II experiment. This report describes a blind analysis of the first…
