Measurement of the muon flux at SNOLAB using the DEAP-3600 experiment
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. Alpízar-Venegas +116
A direct measurement of the muon flux at SNOLAB is performed using the DEAP-3600 experiment, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB near Sudbury, Canada. Primarily designed for the dir…
Testing Lepton Wave Function Factorization in Electron Capture
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, M. Cau +2
Electron-capture ratios provide precision tests of atomic wave functions and of possible non-factorization effects in nuclear electron capture. By exploiting exact leptonic wave fu…
A possible solution to the gallium anomaly moving beyond the leptonic wave function factorization
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, F. Dordei +3
For over thirty years, a deficit, now exceeding , has persisted between measured and predicted neutrino capture rates on Ga, as observed in radioactive sourc…
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…
Reassessing the gallium anomaly using self-consistent electron wave functions
M. Cadeddu, N. Cargioli, G. Carotenuto +3
The gallium anomaly, a persistent discrepancy exceeding in the Ga neutrino capture rates from Cr and Ar radioactive sources by the GALLEX, SAGE, and rece…
Ultra-high precision high voltage system for PTOLEMY
R. Ammendola, A. Apponi, G. Benato +63
The PTOLEMY project is prototyping a novel electromagnetic filter for high-precision spectroscopy, with the ultimate and ambitious long-term goal of detecting the cosmic neutr…
