Fast Single-Quantum Measurement with a Multi-Amplifier Sensing Charge-Coupled Device
Ana M. Botti, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Claudio R. Chavez +11
A novel readout architecture that uses multiple non-destructive floating-gate amplifiers to achieve sub-electron readout noise in a thick, fully-depleted silicon detector is presen…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
Low Threshold Acquisition controller for Skipper CCDs
Gustavo Cancelo, Claudio Chavez, Fernando Chierchie +10
The development of the Skipper Charge Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) has been a major technological breakthrough for sensing very weak ionizing particles. The sensor allows to reac…
The Latin American Giant Observatory: Contributions to the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2015)
The LAGO Collaboration, W. Alvarez, C. Alvarez +86
The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) is an extended cosmic ray observatory composed by a network of water-Cherenkov detectors spanning over different sites located at signif…
Measurement of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon CCDs of the DAMIC experiment
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei, X. Bertou +30
We present measurements of radioactive contamination in the high-resistivity silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) used by the DAMIC experiment to search for dark matter particles.…
DAMIC: a novel dark matter experiment
The DAMIC Collaboration, Alexis A. Aguilar-Arevalo, Xavier Bertou +17
DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) is a novel dark matter experiment that has unique sensitivity to dark matter particles with masses below 10 GeV. Due to its low electronic readout noise…
