Reactor-based Search for Axion-Like Particles using CsI(Tl) Detector
S. Sahoo, S. Verma, M. Mirzakhani +5
The absence of conclusive signals in weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches has motivated increased interest in alternative dark matter candidates such as axions and a…
Search for low-mass electron-recoil dark matter using a single-charge sensitive SuperCDMS-HVeV Detector
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +146
We present constraints on low-mass dark matter electron scattering and absorption interactions using a SuperCDMS high-voltage eV-resolution (HVeV) detector. Data were taken undergr…
Low-Energy Calibration of SuperCDMS HVeV Cryogenic Silicon Calorimeters Using Compton Steps
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +148
Cryogenic calorimeters for low-mass dark matter searches have achieved sub-eV energy resolutions, driving advances in both low-energy calibration techniques and our understanding o…
Multi-channel, multi-template event reconstruction for SuperCDMS data using machine learning
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso-Gonzalez +139
SuperCDMS SNOLAB uses kilogram-scale germanium and silicon detectors to search for dark matter. Each detector has Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) patterned on the top and bottom fac…
A GEANT4-Based Simulation of Directional Neutron Detectors Using Liquid Scintillators and Boron Carbide Moderators
J. -H. Chen, M. Mirzakhani, R. Mahapatra +1
We present a simulation-based study of a compact directional neutron detector composed of liquid scintillator, Cesium Iodide, with boron carbide (B4C) moderation, and silicon photo…
