EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
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…
Simulation of the CYGNO Gaseous TPC Optical Readout
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
Gaseous Time Projection Chambers with Optical Readout are sensitive detectors suitable for 3D measurement of low-energy O(1 keV) particles and are proposed for detecting rare event…
Upgrade of the Trigger and Data Acquisition System for Continuous Imaging and Multi-Camera Operation in CYGNO
F. D. Amaro, R. Antonietti, E. Baracchini +41
The CYGNO experiment employs an optical readout to image particle interactions in a gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC), combining cameras and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to ach…
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…
