SiPM-matrix readout of two-phase argon detectors using electroluminescence in the visible and near infrared range
The DarkSide collaboration, C. E. Aalseth, S. Abdelhakim +312
Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches to record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal induced by particle…
Electroluminescence pulse shape and electron diffusion in liquid argon measured in a dual-phase TPC
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +163
We report the measurement of the longitudinal diffusion constant in liquid argon with the DarkSide-50 dual-phase time projection chamber. The measurement is performed at drift elec…

C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +282
Building on the successful experience in operating the DarkSide-50 detector, the DarkSide Collaboration is going to construct DarkSide-20k, a direct WIMP search detector using a tw…
The Electronics, Trigger and Data Acquisition System for the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber of the DarkSide-50 Search for Dark Matter
DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +177
The DarkSide-50 experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso is a search for dark matter using a dual phase time projection chamber with 50 kg of low radioactivity argon a…
Simulation of argon response and light detection in the DarkSide-50 dual phase TPC
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +147
A Geant4-based Monte Carlo package named G4DS has been developed to simulate the response of DarkSide-50, an experiment operating since 2013 at LNGS, designed to detect WIMP intera…
Cryogenic Characterization of FBK RGB-HD SiPMs
C. E. Aalseth, F. Acerbi, P. Agnes +268
We report on the cryogenic characterization of Red Green Blue - High Density (RGB-HD) SiPMs developed at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) as part of the DarkSide program of dark matt…
The Monte Carlo simulation of the Borexino detector
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +97
We describe the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation package of the Borexino detector and discuss the agreement of its output with data. The Borexino MC 'ab initio' simulates the energy los…
Effect of Low Electric Fields on Alpha Scintillation Light Yield in Liquid Argon
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +158
Measurements were made of scintillation light yield of alpha particles from the Rn decay chain within the DarkSide-50 liquid argon time projection chamber. The light yield…
CALIS - a CALibration Insertion System for the DarkSide-50 dark matter search experiment
P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +162
This paper describes the design, fabrication, commissioning and use of a CALibration source Insertion System (CALIS) in the DarkSide-50 direct dark matter search experiment. CALIS…
The Electronics and Data Acquisition System for the DarkSide-50 Veto Detectors
P. Agnes, L. Agostino, I. F. M. Albuquerque +155
DarkSide-50 is a detector for dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). It utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr TPC) for t…
The veto system of the DarkSide-50 experiment
The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, L. Agostino +158
Nuclear recoil events produced by neutron scatters form one of the most important classes of background in WIMP direct detection experiments, as they may produce nuclear recoils th…
Solar neutrino with Borexino: results and perspectives
O. Smirnov, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +87
Borexino is a unique detector able to perform measurement of solar neutrinos fluxes in the energy region around 1 MeV or below due to its low level of radioactive background. It wa…
