Reflectivity of VUV-sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers in Liquid Xenon
M. Wagenpfeil, T. Ziegler, J. Schneider +140
Silicon photomultipliers are regarded as a very promising technology for next-generation, cutting-edge detectors for low-background experiments in particle physics. This work prese…
Search for non-Newtonian interactions at micrometer scale with a levitated test mass
Charles P. Blakemore, Alexander Fieguth, Akio Kawasaki +5
We report on a search for non-Newtonian forces that couple to mass, with a characteristic scale of m, using an optically levitated microsphere as a precision force sens…
High sensitivity, levitated microsphere apparatus for short-distance force measurements
Akio Kawasaki, Alexander Fieguth, Nadav Priel +3
A high sensitivity force sensor based on dielectric microspheres in vacuum, optically trapped by a single, upward-propagating laser beam, is described. Off-axis parabolic mirrors a…
Detection prospects for the second-order weak decays of Xe in multi-tonne xenon time projection chambers
Christian Wittweg, Brian Lenardo, Alexander Fieguth +1
We investigate the detection prospects for two-neutrino and neutrinoless second order weak decays of Xe -- double electron capture (), electron capture wit…
Absolute pressure and gas species identification with an optically levitated rotor
Charles P. Blakemore, Denzal Martin, Alexander Fieguth +4
The authors describe a novel variety of spinning-rotor vacuum gauge in which the rotor is a m-diameter silica microsphere, optically levitated. A rotating elec…
Search for Light Dark Matter Interactions Enhanced by the Migdal effect or Bremsstrahlung in XENON1T
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +131
Direct dark matter detection experiments based on a liquid xenon target are leading the search for dark matter particles with masses above 5 GeV/c, but have limited sens…
