Cosmogenic activation in detector materials at shallow depths
Sagar S. Poudel, Lekhraj Pandey, Robert Calkins +6
The radioactive decay from long-lived radioactive isotopes produced by cosmogenic activation can be an important background in direct-detection dark matter and neutrino experiments…
Scintillation of liquid nitrogen
L. Pagani, R. Saldanha, B. M. Loer +3
Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in cryogenic applications and is a promising medium for the direct immersion cooling of sensors used for nuclear and particle physics experiments.…
Removal of spallation-induced tritium from silicon through diffusion
R. Saldanha, D. Reading, P. E. Warwick +5
Tritium, predominantly produced through spallation reactions caused by cosmic ray interactions, is a significant radioactive background for silicon-based rare event detection exper…
Subsurface cosmogenic and radiogenic production of ^{42}Ar
Sagar S. Poudel, Ben Loer, Richard Saldanha +2
Radioactive decays from ^{42}Ar and its progeny ^{42}K are potential background sources in large-scale liquid-argon-based neutrino and dark matter experiments. In the atmosphere, ^…
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…
First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
