Kiloton-scale xenon detectors for neutrinoless double beta decay and other new physics searches
A. Avasthi, T. W. Bowyer, C. Bray +31
Large detectors employing xenon are a leading technology in existing and planned searches for new physics, including searches for neutrinoless double beta decay () and dark m…
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…
DarkSide-20k: A 20 Tonne Two-Phase LAr TPC for Direct Dark Matter Detection at LNGS
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…
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…
Development of a low-level Ar-37 calibration standard
R. M. Williams, C. E. Aalseth, T. W. Bowyer +16
Argon-37 is an environmental signature of an underground nuclear explosion. Producing and quantifying low-level Ar-37 standards is an important step in the development of sensitive…
Shielding concepts for low-background proportional counter arrays in surface laboratories
Craig E. Aalseth, Paul H. Humble, Emily K. Mace +3
Development of ultra low background gas proportional counters has made the contribution from naturally occurring radioactive isotopes -- primarily and activity in the urani…
