Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
C. Adams, K. Alfonso, C. Andreoiu +229
This White Paper, prepared for the Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos Town Meeting related to the 2023 Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan, makes the case for double beta…
Cosmogenic activation of sodium iodide
R. Saldanha, W. G. Thompson, Y. Y. Zhong +7
The production of radioactive isotopes by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with sodium iodide (NaI) crystals can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for…
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,…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Calibrations and backgrounds for dark matter direct detection
Daniel Baxter, Raymond Bunker, Sally Shaw +48
Future dark matter direct detection experiments will reach unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Achieving this sensitivity will require more precise models of signal and background…
Low Background kTon-Scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers
A. Avasthi, T. Bezerra, A. Borkum +28
We find that it is possible to increase sensitivity to low energy physics in a third or fourth DUNE-like module with careful controls over radiopurity and some modifications to a d…
The Oscura Experiment
Alexis Aguilar-Arevalo, Fabricio Alcalde Bessia, Nicolas Avalos +41
The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two electr…
Simulated Thick, Fully-Depleted CCD Exposures Analyzed with Deep Learning Techniques
C. Britt, E. Church, T. Hossbach +4
Thick, Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) have recently been explored for applied physics, such as nuclear explosion monitoring, and dark matter detection purposes. When run in fully-de…
Development of a Xe calibration source for nEXO
B. G. Lenardo, C. A. Hardy, R. H. M. Tsang +125
We study a possible calibration technique for the nEXO experiment using a Xe electron capture source. nEXO is a next-generation search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($…
