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…
Characterization of a CsI(Tl) Scintillator Coupled to a SiPM at Cryogenic Temperatures
M. Mirzakhani, R. Mahapatra, M. Platt
We report on the scintillation characterization of a 1 cm^3 CsI(Tl) crystal coupled to a 6 x 6 mm^2 SiPM read out with a custom transimpedance amplifier at cryogenic temperatures.…
CENS Search with Cryogenic Sapphire Detectors at MINER: Results from the TRIGA reactor data and Future Sensitivity at HFIR
D. Mondal, W. Baker, M. Chaudhuri +20
We report on a search for coherent elastic neutrino--nucleus scattering (CENS) using cryogenic sapphire (AlO) detectors deployed at the Mitchell Institute Neutrino Expe…
MINER Reactor Based Search for Axion-Like Particles Using Sapphire (Al2O3) Detectors
M. Mirzakhani, W. Baker, M. Chaudhuri +20
The absence of definitive results for WIMP dark matter has sparked growing interest in alternative dark matter candidates, such as axions and Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), which als…
First Limits on Light Dark Matter Interactions in a Low Threshold Two Channel Athermal Phonon Detector from the TESSERACT Collaboration
C. L. Chang, Y. -Y. Chang, L. Chaplinsky +45
We present results of a search for spin-independent dark matter-nucleon interactions in a 1 cm by 1 mm thick (0.233 gram) high-resolution silicon athermal phonon detector opera…
