Defect Formation in NaI Crystals: A Novel Pathway to Dark Matter Detection
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +44
Sodium iodide (NaI) is a widely used scintillator in direct dark matter searches. In particular, NaI-based cryogenic scintillating calorimeters have emerged as promising candidates…
Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +51
Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its…
COSINUS model-independent sensitivity to the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter signal
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +40
COSINUS is a dark matter direct detection experiment using NaI crystals as cryogenic scintillating calorimeters. If no signal is observed, this will constrain the dark matter scatt…
COSINUS -- a model-independent challenge of the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter claim with cryogenic NaI detectors operated in a new low-background facility
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +40
Low-temperature detectors are a powerful technology for dark matter search, offering excellent energy resolution and low energy thresholds. COSINUS is the only experiment that comb…
