Axion-Like Particle Search with a Hybrid Cherenkov-Scintillation Detector
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +43
This analysis presents the first proof-of-concept search for axion-like particles (ALPs) using a hybrid Cherenkov-scintillation detector at a beam-dump facility. The work is based…
Measurement of the Liquid Argon Scintillation Pulse Shape Using Differentiable Simulation in the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills Experiment
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
The Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) experiment is a liquid argon (LAr) light collection detector searching for MeV-scale neutrino and Beyond Standard Model physics signatures. Two hun…
First Event-by-Event Identification of Cherenkov Radiation from Sub-MeV Particles in Liquid Argon
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
This Letter reports the event-by-event observation of Cherenkov light from sub-MeV electrons in a high scintillation light-yield liquid argon (LAr) detector by the Coherent CAPTAIN…
First experimental study of multiple orientation muon tomography, with image optimization in sparse data environments
Jesus J. Valencia, Adam A. Hecht, C. L. Morris +4
Due to the high penetrating power of cosmic ray muons, they can be used to probe very thick and dense objects. As charged particles, they can be tracked by ionization detectors, de…
Testing Meson Portal Dark Sector Solutions to the MiniBooNE Anomaly at CCM
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
A solution to the MiniBooNE excess invoking rare three-body decays of the charged pions and kaons to new states in the MeV mass scale was recently proposed as a dark-sector explana…
The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range
Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95
Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…
Prospects for detecting axionlike particles at the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills experiment
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. S. M. Alves, S. Biedron +45
We show results from the Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) 2019 engineering run which begin to constrain regions of parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in electroma…
First Leptophobic Dark Matter Search from Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. S. M. Alves, S. Biedron +48
We report the first results of a search for leptophobic dark matter (DM) from the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) liquid argon (LAr) detector. An engineering run with 120 photomultipl…
First Dark Matter Search Results From Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +47
This paper describes the operation of the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills (CCM) detector located at the Lujan Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). CCM i…
Verifying Spent Fuel Containers Before Deep Geological Storage with Cosmic Ray Muons
D. Poulson, J. M. Durham, J. D. Bacon +2
International nuclear safeguards inspectors do not have a method to verify the contents of sealed storage casks containing spent reactor fuel. The heavy shielding that is used to l…
3D Cosmic Ray Muon Tomography from an Underground Tunnel
Elena Guardincerri, Charlotte Rowe, Emily Schultz-Fellenz +10
We present an underground cosmic ray muon tomographic experiment imaging 3D density of overburden, part of a joint study with differential gravity. Muon data were acquired at four…
Verification of spent nuclear fuel in sealed dry storage casks via measurements of cosmic ray muon scattering
