The Darkside-20k Data Acquisition System

Fabio Acerbi, Pushparaj Adhikari, Paolo Agnes +289

DarkSide-20k is a WIMP search experiment using liquid argon as a target, designed to perform a background-free search for dark matter with unprecedented sensitivity, and is current…

Characterization of argon recoils at the keV scale with ReD and ReD+

L. Pandola, P. Agnes, I. Ahmad +43

The ReD experiment measured the ionization yield Qy of argon for nuclear recoils in the 2-10 keV range using a dual-phase Time Projection Chamber irradiated with neutrons from a Cf…

First Nuclear Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Search in Argon Time Projection Chambers with the DarkSide-50 Experiment

P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque, T. Alexander +125

We report the first search for nuclear ultra-heavy dark matter (UHDM) in a dual-phase liquid argon time projection chamber using the DarkSide-50 experiment. Unlike conventional wea…

Sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs with an improved liquid argon ionization response model within the DarkSide programme

F. Acerbi, P. Adhikari, P. Agnes +294

Dark matter detection experiments using liquid argon rely on a precise characterization of the ionization response to nuclear recoils, especially in the keV energy range relevant f…

Characterization of the ionization response of argon to nuclear recoils at the keV scale with the ReD experiment

P. Agnes, I. Ahmad, S. Albergo +42

In the recent years, argon-based experiments looking for Dark Matter in the Universe have explored the non-standard scenario in which Dark Matter is made by low-mass Weakly Interac…

Characterization of spurious-electron signals in the double-phase argon TPC of the DarkSide-50 experiment

50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. Albuquerque +144

Spurious-electron signals in dual-phase noble liquid time projection chambers have been observed in both xenon and argon Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). This paper presents the fi…
