Construction, commissioning, and performance of the ENUBET demonstrator
F. Acerbi, I. Angelis, L. Bomben +74
A final full-size prototype of the instrumented decay tunnel of ENUBET, referred to as the Demonstrator, was constructed and its performance was tested during the 2022, 2023 and 20…
Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294
Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…
Measurements of efficiency, timing and response to irradiation for direct detection of charged particles with SiPMs
F. Carnesecchi, B. Sabiu, B. R. Achari +47
In this paper the efficiency of direct charged particle detection with different Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) sensors has been measured to be close to 100%. Time resolution of ab…
Production, Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the SiPM Tiles for the DarkSide-20k Time Projection Chamber
F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +301
The DarkSide-20k dark matter direct detection experiment will employ a 21 m^2 silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array, instrumenting a dual-phase 50 tonnes liquid argon Time Projectio…
Flow and thermal modelling of the argon volume in the DarkSide-20k TPC
20k Collaboration, F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari +300
The DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, features a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC) with a ~50 t argon target from an underground wel…
Below 100 ps CTR using FastIC+, an ASIC including on-chip digitization for ToF-PET and beyond
D. Mazzanti, S. Gomez, J. Mauricio +19
This work presents the 8-channel FastIC+, a low-power consumption and highly configurable multi-channel front-end ASIC with internal digitization, for the readout of photo-sensors…
