Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +115
In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon (Rn), thoron (Rn) and krypton (Kr). We det…
A versatile and light-weight slow control system for small-scale applications
Philipp Zappa, Lukas Bütikofer, Daniel Coderre +3
We present an open source slow control system for small and medium scale projects. Thanks to its modular and flexible design, where the various instruments are read and controlled…
DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector
J. Aalbers, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +116
DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) will be an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core.…
The GeMSE Facility for Low-Background γ-Ray Spectrometry
M. v. Sivers, B. A. Hofmann, Å. V. Rosén +1
We describe a new high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector setup for low-background γ-ray spectrometry. The GeMSE facility (Germanium Material and meteorite Screening Experiment) is d…
Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment
The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113
The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…
Sensitivity of alkali halide scintillating calorimeters with particle identification to investigate the DAMA dark matter detection claim
Patrick Nadeau, Michael Clark, P. C. F. Di Stefano +4
Scintillating calorimeters are cryogenic detectors combining a measurement of scintillation with one of phonons to provide particle identification. In view of developing alkali hal…
Results on low mass WIMPs using an upgraded CRESST-II detector
CRESST Collaboration, G. Angloher, A. Bento +42
The CRESST-II cryogenic dark matter search aims for the detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO crystals. We present results from a low-threshold analysis…
Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos: Limitations for Direct Dark Matter Searches
A. Gütlein, W. Potzel, C. Ciemniak +12
In experiments for direct dark matter searches, neutrinos coherently scattering off nuclei can produce similar events as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). To reach sens…
Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos: Background Sources for the Direct Dark Matter Searches
A. Gütlein, C. Ciemniak, F. von Feilitzsch +12
In experiments for direct dark matter searches, neutrinos coherently scattering off nuclei can produce similar events as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The calculate…
