First Direct-Detection Constraints on eV-Scale Hidden-Photon Dark Matter with DAMIC at SNOLAB

A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +35

We present direct detection constraints on the absorption of hidden-photon dark matter with particle masses in the range 1.2-30 eV with the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB. Unde…

Search for low-mass WIMPs in a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB

A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +35

We present results of a dark matter search performed with a 0.6 kg day exposure of the DAMIC experiment at the SNOLAB underground laboratory. We measure the energy spectrum of ioni…

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…

VAMOS: a Pathfinder for the HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory

A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +133

VAMOS was a prototype detector built in 2011 at an altitude of 4100m a.s.l. in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The aim of VAMOS was to finalize the design, construction techniques and…
