Relative Measurement and Extrapolation of the Scintillation Quenching Factor of -Particles in Liquid Argon using DEAP-3600 Data
DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, M. Alpízar-Venegas +101
The knowledge of scintillation quenching of -particles plays a paramount role in understanding -induced backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid argon-based direct…
An integrated online radioassay data storage and analytics tool for nEXO
R. H. M. Tsang, A. Piepke, S. Al Kharusi +157
Large-scale low-background detectors are increasingly used in rare-event searches as experimental collaborations push for enhanced sensitivity. However, building such detectors, in…
Precision Measurement of the Specific Activity of Ar in Atmospheric Argon with the DEAP-3600 Detector
P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj, M. Alpízar-Venegas +147
The specific activity of the beta decay of Ar in atmospheric argon is measured using the DEAP-3600 detector. DEAP-3600, located 2 km underground at SNOLAB, uses a total of (…
Performance of novel VUV-sensitive Silicon Photo-Multipliers for nEXO
G. Gallina, Y. Guan, F. Retiere +162
Liquid xenon time projection chambers are promising detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0), due to their response uniformity, monolithic sensitive volume,…
Pulseshape discrimination against low-energy Ar-39 beta decays in liquid argon with 4.5 tonne-years of DEAP-3600 data
The DEAP Collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +126
The DEAP-3600 detector searches for the scintillation signal from dark matter particles scattering on a 3.3 tonne liquid argon target. The largest background comes from Ar b…
The liquid-argon scintillation pulseshape in DEAP-3600
The DEAP collaboration, P. Adhikari, R. Ajaj +98
DEAP-3600 is a liquid-argon scintillation detector looking for dark matter. Scintillation events in the liquid argon (LAr) are registered by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and p…
Surface background rejection technique for liquid argon dark matter detectors using a thin scintillating layer
D. Gallacher, M. Boulay
Future large liquid argon direct dark matter detectors can benefit greatly from an efficient surface background rejection technique. To aid the development of these large scale det…
