Cosmogenic activation of sodium iodide
R. Saldanha, W. G. Thompson, Y. Y. Zhong +7
The production of radioactive isotopes by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with sodium iodide (NaI) crystals can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for…
Exotic dark matter search with the Majorana Demonstrator
I. J. Arnquist, F. T. Avignone, A. S. Barabash +56
With excellent energy resolution and ultra-low level radiogenic backgrounds, the high-purity germanium detectors in the Majorana Demonstrator enable searches for several classes of…
The COHERENT Experimental Program
D. Akimov, S. Alawabdeh, P. An +128
The COHERENT experiment located in Neutrino Alley at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has made the world's first two measurements of coher…
First Probe of Sub-GeV Dark Matter Beyond the Cosmological Expectation with the COHERENT CsI Detector at the SNS
D. Akimov, P. An, C. Awe +73
The COHERENT collaboration searched for scalar dark matter particles produced at the Spallation Neutron Source with masses between 1 and 220~MeV/c using a CsI[Na] scintillation…
Measurement of the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Cross Section on CsI by COHERENT
D. Akimov, P. An, C. Awe +73

Simulating the neutrino flux from the Spallation Neutron Source for the COHERENT experiment
COHERENT Collaboration, D. Akimov, P. An +80
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a pulsed source of neutrons and, as a byproduct of this operation, an intense source of pulsed neutrinos via…
Sensitivity of the COHERENT Experiment to Accelerator-Produced Dark Matter
COHERENT Collaboration, D. Akimov, P. An +75
The COHERENT experiment is well poised to test sub-GeV dark matter models using low-energy recoil detectors sensitive to coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in the…
First Constraint on Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering in Argon
COHERENT Collaboration, D. Akimov, J. B. Albert +77
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is the dominant neutrino scattering channel for neutrinos of energy MeV. We report a limit for this process using da…
First Measurement of the Total Neutron Cross Section on Argon Between 100 and 800 MeV
B. Bhandari, J. Bian, K. Bilton +73
We report the first measurement of the neutron cross section on argon in the energy range of 100-800 MeV. The measurement was obtained with a 4.3-hour exposure of the Mini-CAPTAIN…
