Long-Lived Charge Trap Characterization for Rare-Event Searches with Skipper-CCDs
Ansh Desai, Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +9
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are detectors with sub-electron resolution, allowing them to play a critical role in rare-event searches. A major challenge in experim…
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…
Optical calibration of the SNO+ detector in the water phase with deployed sources
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +120
SNO+ is a large-scale liquid scintillator experiment with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay, and is located approximately 2 km underground in SNOLAB,…
Development, characterisation, and deployment of the SNO+ liquid scintillator
SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +223
A liquid scintillator consisting of linear alkylbenzene as the solvent and 2,5-diphenyloxazole as the fluor was developed for the SNO+ experiment. This mixture was chosen as it is…
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…
Measurement of neutron-proton capture in the SNO+ water phase
The SNO+ Collaboration, :, M. R. Anderson +130
The SNO+ experiment collected data as a low-threshold water Cherenkov detector from September 2017 to July 2019. Measurements of the 2.2-MeV produced by neutron capture on hydr…
Data-Driven Modeling of Electron Recoil Nucleation in PICO CF Bubble Chambers
C. Amole, M. Ardid, I. J. Arnquist +76
The primary advantage of moderately superheated bubble chamber detectors is their simultaneous sensitivity to nuclear recoils from WIMP dark matter and insensitivity to electron re…
The DAMIC dark matter experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
The DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) experiment uses high resistivity, scientific grade CCDs to search for dark matter. The CCD's low electronic noise allows an unprecedently low energy…
Status of the DAMIC direct dark matter search experiment
DAMIC Collaboration, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +31
The DAMIC experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for dark matter particles. With an energy threshold 50 eV, and excellent energy and spatial r…
Current Status and Future Prospects of the SNO+ Experiment
SNO+ Collaboration, :, S. Andringa +155
SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator-based experiment located 2km underground at SNOLAB, Sudbury, Canada. It reuses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory detector, consisting of a 12m di…
DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Search
DEAP Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +54
The DEAP-3600 experiment is located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, in Sudbury, Ontario. It is a single-phase detector that searches for dark matter particle interactions within a 1000…
Improving Photoelectron Counting and Particle Identification in Scintillation Detectors with Bayesian Techniques
M. Akashi-Ronquest, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +79
Many current and future dark matter and neutrino detectors are designed to measure scintillation light with a large array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The energy resolution and…
Update on the MiniCLEAN Dark Matter Experiment
K. Rielage, M. Akashi-Ronquest, M. Bodmer +43
The direct search for dark matter is entering a period of increased sensitivity to the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). One such technology that is being ex…
New Insights into Particle Detection with Superheated Liquids
S. Archambault, F. Aubin, M. Auger +34
We report new results obtained in calibrations of superheated liquid droplet detectors used in dark matter searches with different radiation sources (n,,). In particular, det…
