A nonlinear multiphysics model for the design validation of the ASTAROTH copper-steel cryogenic chamber
F. Alessandria, F. B. Armani, S. Coelli +8
Among the global efforts to directly detect dark matter, the only positive claim so far relies on NaI(Tl) crystal detectors, making this technology of particular interest. ASTAROTH…
Application of zone refining to the development of NaI(Tl) detectors for SABRE North
C. Ananna, F. B. Armani, G. Cataldi +23
The SABRE North experiment is developing ultra-high radiopurity NaI(Tl) detectors to investigate dark matter. To achieve this, SABRE North utilizes the technique called zone refini…
First use of large area SiPM matrices coupled with NaI(Tl) scintillating crystal for low energy dark matter search
Edoardo Martinenghi, Valerio Toso, Fabrizio Bruno Armani +10
The long-standing claim of dark matter detection by the DAMA experiment remains a crucial open question in astroparticle physics. A key step towards its independent verification is…
ASTAROTH: A Novel Detector for Dark Matter Direct Detection Using Cryogenic SiPMs
Edoardo Martinenghi, Valerio Toso, Fabrizio Bruno Armani +12
The DAMA experiment's long-standing claim of dark matter detection remains a key open issue in astroparticle physics. Independent verification requires NaI(Tl)-based detectors with…
