First Production of Skipper-CCD Modules for the DAMIC-M Experiment
H. Lin, M. Traina, S. Paul +65
The DAMIC-M experiment will search for sub-GeV dark matter particles with a large array of silicon skipper charge-coupled devices (CCDs) at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM)…
The DAMIC-M Low Background Chamber
I. Arnquist, N. Avalos, P. Bailly +66
The DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane (DAMIC-M) experiment is designed to search for light dark matter (m<10\,GeV/c) at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) in France. D…
Nuclear Recoil Identification in a Scientific Charge-Coupled Device
K. J. McGuire, A. E. Chavarria, N. Castello-Mor +19
Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are a leading technology in direct dark matter searches because of their eV-scale energy threshold and high spatial resolution. The sensitivity of fut…
Skipper-CCD Sensors for the Oscura Experiment: Requirements and Preliminary Tests
Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara, Santiago Perez, Juan Estrada +52
Oscura is a proposed multi-kg skipper-CCD experiment designed for a dark matter (DM) direct detection search that will reach unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV DM-electron intera…
