Study of cosmogenic activation above ground for the DarkSide-20k experiment
20k Collaboration
The activation of materials due to exposure to cosmic rays may become an important background source for experiments investigating rare event phenomena. DarkSide-20k, currently und…
Design and construction of a new detector to measure ultra-low radioactive-isotope contamination of argon
The DarkSide Collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +328
Large liquid argon detectors offer one of the best avenues for the detection of galactic weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their scattering on atomic nuclei. The liq…
Measurement of the ion fraction and mobility of Po produced in Rn decays in liquid argon
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +163
We report measurements of the charged daughter fraction of Po as a result of the Rn alpha decay, and the mobility of Po ions, using radon-polonium coinc…
SiPMs for cryogenic temperature
I. Kochanek
The DarkSide-20k collaboration is preparing to equip 20 m^2 of SiPMs working in liquid argon at 86 K for the direct search of WIMPs. The collaboration had to solve many technologic…
