Quenching Measurements and Modeling of a Boron-Loaded Organic Liquid Scintillator
Shawn Westerdale, Jingke Xu, Emily Shields +13
Organic liquid scintillators are used in a wide variety of applications in experimental nuclear and particle physics. Boron-loaded scintillators are particularly useful for detecti…
A measurement of the ionization efficiency of nuclear recoils in silicon
F. Izraelevitch, D. Amidei, A. Aprahamian +26
We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform…
Scintillation efficiency measurement of Na recoils in NaI(Tl) below the DAMA/LIBRA energy threshold
Jingke Xu, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice +18
The dark matter interpretation of the DAMA modulation signal depends on the NaI(Tl) scintillation efficiency of nuclear recoils. Previous measurements for Na recoils have large dis…
