aKWISP: investigating short-distance interactions at sub-micron scales
G. Cantatore, V. Anastassopoulos, S. Cetin +8
The sub-micron range in the field of short distance interactions has yet to be opened to experimental investigation, and may well hold the key to understanding al least part of the…
Performance of Multiplexed XY Resistive Micromegas detectors in a high intensity beam
D. Banerjee, V. Burtsev, A. Chumakov +38
We present the performance of multiplexed XY resistive Micromegas detectors tested in the CERN SPS 100 GeV/c electron beam at intensities up to 3.3 10 e/(s…
High purity 100 GeV electron identification with synchrotron radiation
E. Depero, D. Banerjee, V. Burtsev +36
In high energy experiments such as active beam dump searches for rare decays and missing energy events, the beam purity is a crucial parameter. In this paper we present a technique…
Search for axions in streaming dark matter
K. Zioutas, V. Anastassopoulos, S. Bertolucci +11
A new search strategy for the detection of the elusive dark matter (DM) axion is proposed. The idea is based on streaming DM axions, whose flux might get temporally enormously enha…
Recent Progress with the KWISP Force Sensor
G. Cantatore, A. Gardikiotis, D. H. H. Hoffmann +3
The KWISP opto-mechanical force sensor has been built and calibrated in the INFN Trieste optics laboratory and is now under off-beam commissioning at CAST. It is designed to detect…
KWISP: an ultra-sensitive force sensor for the Dark Energy sector
M. Karuza, G. Cantatore, A. Gardikiotis +3
An ultra-sensitive opto-mechanical force sensor has been built and tested in the optics laboratory at INFN Trieste. Its application to experiments in the Dark Energy sector, such a…
X-ray detection with Micromegas with background levels below 10 keVcms
S. Aune, F. Aznar, D. Calvet +26
Micromegas detectors are an optimum technological choice for the detection of low energy x-rays. The low background techniques applied to these detectors yielded remarkable backgro…
Low background x-ray detection with Micromegas for axion research
S. Aune, J. F. Castel, T. Dafni +23
Axion helioscopes aim at the detection of solar axions through their conversion into x-rays in laboratory magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors is an essential…
CAST microbulk micromegas in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
A. Tomás, S. Aune, T. Dafni +19
During the last taking data campaigns of the CAST experiment, the micromegas detectors have achieved background levels of keVcms betw…
Low X-ray bakground measurements at the Underground Canfranc Laboratory
J. Galan, S. Aune, T. Dafni +19
Micromegas detectors, thanks to the good spatial and temporal discrimination capabilities, are good candidates for rare event search experiments. Recent X-ray background levels ach…
The discrimination capabilities of Micromegas detectors at low energy
F. J. Iguaz, T. Dafni, E. Ferrer-Ribas +11
The latest generation of Micromegas detectors show a good energy resolution, spatial resolution and low threshold, which make them idoneous in low energy applications. Two micromeg…
Status of R&D on Micromegas for Rare Event Searches: The T-REX project
I. G. Irastorza, J. Castel, S. Cebrián +24
The T-REX project aims at developing novel readout techniques for Time Projection Chambers in experiments searching for rare events. The enhanced performance of the latest Micromeg…
