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…
Dark Matter Searches with Sodium Iodide Detectors
Maria Martinez, Reina H. Maruyama, Maria Luisa Sarsa
The search for the identity of dark matter remains one of the most intriguing challenges in physics today, driving innovative advances in experiment and theory. Thallium-doped sodi…
Performance of a SiPM-based, plastic scintillator muon veto prototype for CUPID
Maya Moore, Samantha Pagan, Emily G. Pottebaum +8
CUPID will be a next-generation experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in the inverted mass ordering regime. The reduction of backgrounds in the region of interest…
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…
Upgrading the COSINE-100 Experiment for Enhanced Sensitivity to Low-Mass Dark Matter Detection
D. H. Lee, J. Y. Cho, C. Ha +23
The DAMA/LIBRA experiment has reported an annual modulation signal in NaI(Tl) detectors, which has been interpreted as a possible indication of dark matter interactions. However, t…
