The Electronics and Data Acquisition System of the DarkSide Dark Matter Search

The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, T. Alexander +143

It is generally inferred from astronomical measurements that Dark Matter (DM) comprises approximately 27\% of the energy-density of the universe. If DM is a subatomic particle, a p…

Measurement of Scintillation and Ionization Yield and Scintillation Pulse Shape from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon

H. Cao, T. Alexander, A. Aprahamian +32

We have measured the scintillation and ionization yield of recoiling nuclei in liquid argon as a function of applied electric field by exposing a dual-phase liquid argon time proje…

Observation of the Dependence of Scintillation from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon on Drift Field

T. Alexander, H. O. Back, H. Cao +27

We have exposed a dual-phase Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) to a low energy pulsed narrowband neutron beam, produced at the Notre Dame Institute for Structure and N…

A Study of the Residual 39Ar Content in Argon from Underground Sources

J. Xu, F. Calaprice, C. Galbiati +15

The discovery of argon from underground sources with significantly less 39Ar than atmospheric argon was an important step in the development of direct-detection dark matter experim…

Light Yield in DarkSide-10: a Prototype Two-phase Liquid Argon TPC for Dark Matter Searches

T. Alexander, D. Alton, K. Arisaka +119

As part of the DarkSide program of direct dark matter searches using liquid argon TPCs, a prototype detector with an active volume containing 10 kg of liquid argon, DarkSide-10, wa…
