Precise timing and recent advancements with segmented anode PICOSEC Micromegas prototypes
I. Manthos, S. Aune, J. Bortfeldt +41
Timing information in current and future accelerator facilities is important for resolving objects (particle tracks, showers, etc.) in extreme large particles multiplicities on the…
ACHINOS: A Multi-Anode Read-Out for Position Reconstruction and Tracking with Spherical Proportional Counters
I. Katsioulas, P. Knights, I. Manthos +4
The spherical proportional counter is a versatile gaseous detector with physics applications ranging from rare event searches to fast neutron spectroscopy. In its simplest form, th…
Purification Efficiency and Radon Emanation of Gas Purifiers used with Pure and Binary Gas Mixtures for Gaseous Dark Matter Detectors
K., Altenmüller, J. F. Castel +22
Rare event searches require extreme radiopurity in all detector components. This includes the active medium, which in the case of gaseous detectors, is the operating gas. The gases…
Fast Neutron Spectroscopy with a High-pressure Nitrogen-filled Large Volume Spherical Proportional Counter
I. Giomataris, I. Katsioulas, P. Knights +7
We present a fast neutron spectroscopy system based on a nitrogen-filled, large volume gaseous detector, the Spherical Proportional Counter. The system has been successfully operat…
Sensitivity projections for a dual-phase argon TPC optimized for light dark matter searches through the ionization channel
P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +296
Dark matter lighter than 10 GeV/c encompasses a promising range of candidates. A conceptual design for a new detector, DarkSide-LowMass, is presented, based on the DarkSide-50…
Neutron spectroscopy: The case of the spherical proportional counter
I. Giomataris, I. Katsioulas, P. Knights +5
Neutron spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for many scientific and industrial applications, including underground Dark Matter searches. Neutron-induced backgrounds produced by cosm…
Neutron spectroscopy with a high-pressure nitrogen-filled spherical proportional counter
I. Giomataris, S. Green, I. Katsioulas +8
The spherical proportional counter is a large volume gaseous detector which finds application in several fields, including direct Dark Matter searches. When the detector is filled…
The NEWS-G detector at SNOLAB
L. Balogh, C. Beaufort, A. Brossard +38
The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration intends to achieve Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection using Spherical Propo…
Snowmass 2021 White Paper Instrumentation Frontier 05 -- White Paper 1: MPGDs: Recent advances and current R&D
K. Dehmelt, M. Della Pietra, H. Muller +67
This paper will review the origins, development, and examples of new versions of Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors. The goal for MPGD development was the creation of detectors that could…
EXCESS workshop: Descriptions of rising low-energy spectra
P. Adari, A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. Amidei +303
Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the signifi…
Timing techniques with picosecond-order accuracy for novel gaseous detectors
A. Tsiamis, K. Kordas, I. Manthos +2
A simulation model is developed to train Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), for precise timing of PICOSEC Micromegas detector signals. The aim is to develop fast, online timing algo…
Measurements of the ionization efficiency of protons in methane
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +40
The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This d…
