Emission of Single and Few Electrons in XENON1T and Limits on Light Dark Matter

E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +152

Delayed single- and few-electron emissions plague dual-phase time projection chambers, limiting their potential to search for light-mass dark matter. This paper examines the origin…

Material radiopurity control in the XENONnT experiment

E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +150

The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of the utmost importance for rare-event searches and thus critical to the XENONnT experiment. Results of an extensive rad…

Polarimetry for measuring the vacuum magnetic birefringence with quasi-static fields: a systematics study for the VMB@CERN experiment

G. Zavattini, F. Della Valle, A. M Soflau +9

We present an experimental systematics study of the polarimetric method for measuring the vacuum magnetic birefringence based on a pair of rotating half-wave plates. The presence o…
