Dark Matter Sensitivity of the CYGNO Detector with HFO-1234ze Enhanced Gas Mixtures
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +42
The CYGNO collaboration introduces an innovative approach to direct dark matter detection, proposing a high-resolution optical Time Projection Chamber. It operates at atmospheric p…
He-CF4-CH4 ternary mixtures as target gas for the CYGNO directional dark matter experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
The CYGNO collaboration is advancing a high-resolution optical Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for directional dark matter searches and solar neutrino spectroscopy at LNGS. The detec…
Characterization of field cage and cathode for low radioactivity operation with the CYGNO experiment
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +48
Dark matter, which is considered to account for approximately the 27% of the Universe's energy-mass content, remains an open issue in modern particle physics along with its composi…
Fast reconstruction-based ROI triggering via anomaly detection in the CYGNO optical TPC
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
Optical-readout Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) produce megapixel-scale images whose fine-grained topological information is essential for rare-event searches, but whose size chall…
Trigger Optimization and Event Classification for Dark Matter Searches in the CYGNO Experiment Using Machine Learning
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +40
The CYGNO experiment employs an optical-readout Time Projection Chamber (TPC) to search for rare low-energy interactions using finely resolved scintillation images. While the optic…
First Optical Observation of Negative Ion Drift at Surface Pressure
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
We report the first observation of Negative Ion Drift (NID) at surface pressure of mbar at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in a He:CF:SF mixture using an op…
