Passivation of Si(Li) detectors operated above cryogenic temperatures for space-based applications
Nathan Saffold, Field Rogers, Mengjiao Xiao +12
This work evaluates the viability of polyimide and parylene-C for passivation of lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. The passivated Si(Li) detectors will form the particle…
SmallSat Solar Axion and Activity X-ray Imager (SSAXI)
Jaesub Hong, Suzanne Romaine, Almus Kenter +8
Axions are a promising dark matter candidate as well as a solution to the strong charge-parity (CP) problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We describe a new mission concept for S…
GAPS: Searching for Dark Matter using Antinuclei in Cosmic Rays
R. Bird, T. Aramaki, M. Boezio +47
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) will carry out a sensitive dark matter search by measuring low-energy () cosmic ray antinuclei.…
Development of Large-area Lithium-drifted Silicon Detectors for the GAPS Experiment
M. Kozai, H. Fuke, M. Yamada +11
We have developed large-area lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors to meet the unique requirements of the General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) experiment. GAPS is an Antar…
GAPS: A New Cosmic Ray Anti-matter Experiment
S. Quinn, T. Aramaki, R. Bird +37
The General AntiParticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne instrument designed to detect cosmic-ray antimatter using the novel exotic atom technique, obviating the strong magn…
Fabrication of low-cost, large-area prototype Si(Li) detectors for the GAPS experiment
Kerstin Perez, Tsuguo Aramaki, Charles J. Hailey +14
A Si(Li) detector fabrication procedure has been developed with the aim of satisfying the unique requirements of the GAPS (General Antiparticle Spectrometer) experiment. Si(Li) det…
