Scintillation Properties of a Stilbene Crystal for Low-Mass Dark Matter Searches

Se Hwan Lee, Jaeyoung Cho, D. Joseph Daniel +4

Direct searches for low-mass WIMPs require sensitivity to low-energy nuclear recoils. Hydrogen-containing targets offer favorable scattering kinematics because low-mass WIMPs can t…

Development and Initial Performance of an Upgraded NaI(Tl) Crystal Encapsulation for COSINE-100U

Doohyeok Lee, Jae Young Cho, Chang Hyon Ha +23

The COSINE-100 experiment was designed to test the DAMA/LIBRA annual-modulation claim using low-background NaI(Tl) detectors. For the COSINE-100U upgrade, we developed a new crysta…

COSINE-100 Full Dataset Challenges the Annual Modulation Signal of DAMA/LIBRA

N. Carlin, J. Y. Cho, J. J. Choi +56

For over 25 years, the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has claimed to observe an annual modulation signal, suggesting the existence of dark matter interactions. However, no experiment emp…
