Measurement of the ionization produced by sub-keV silicon nuclear recoils in a CCD dark matter detector

A. E. Chavarria, J. I. Collar, J. R. Peña +10

We report a measurement of the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclei recoiling with sub-keV kinetic energy in the bulk silicon of a charge-coupled device (CCD). Nuclear recoils a…

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…

Measurement of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs of the DAMIC experiment

A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30

We present measurements of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) used by the DAMIC experiment to search for dark matter particles.…
