First Directional Dark Matter Limits from the MIMAC μ-TPC Detector
Ilias Ourahou, Daniel Santos, Olivier Guillaudin +3
We present a directional dark matter search using the MIMAC (Micro-tpc Matrix of Chambers) detector at the Modane Underground Laboratory. Operating a low-pressure gas mixture of i-…
Prompt Gamma Timing in Carbon Therapy: First Experimental Results with the TIARA Detector
Maxime Pinson, Adélie André, Yannick Boursier +11
In the context of range monitoring for particle therapy, this study presents the first experimental results obtained with the TIARA detector using carbon-ion beams at the CNAO clin…
TIARA: a fast gamma-ray detector for range monitoring in Proton Therapy
A. André, M. Pinson, C. Hoarau +14
We developed a novel gamma-ray detection system (TIARA) for range monitoring in Particle Therapy. The system employs Cherenkov-based gamma-ray detection modules arranged around the…
Search for Light Dark Matter with NEWS-G at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane Using a Methane Target
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The NEWS-G direct detection experiment uses spherical proportional counters to search for light dark matter candidates. New results from a 10 day physics run with a $135\,\mathrm{c…
The ionization yield in a methane-filled spherical proportional counter
M. M. Arora, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background…
