EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
Measurement of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs of the DAMIC experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
We present measurements of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) used by the DAMIC experiment to search for dark matter particles.…
DAMIC: a novel dark matter experiment
The DAMIC Collaboration, Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou +17
DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) is a novel dark matter experiment that has unique sensitivity to dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV. Due to its low electronic readout noise…
Radon backgrounds in the DEAP-1 liquid-argon-based Dark Matter detector
P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov, B. Beltran +49
The DEAP-1 \SI{7}{kg} single phase liquid argon scintillation detector was operated underground at SNOLAB in order to test the techniques and measure the backgrounds inherent to si…
Measurement of the scintillation time spectra and pulse-shape discrimination of low-energy beta and nuclear recoils in liquid argon with DEAP-1
P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov, B. Beltran +69
The DEAP-1 low-background liquid argon detector was used to measure scintillation pulse shapes of electron and nuclear recoil events and to demonstrate the feasibility of pulse-sha…
