An area of active research in today’s particle physics is the search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). In this hypothetical process, the nucleus of a radioactive isotope decays into a daughter and two electrons, while their associated neutrinos, observed in beta decays, annihilate each other. If observed, this process will provide an answer to the question of whether the neutrino is a...
The Data-Directed paradigm (DDP) is an innovative approach to efficiently probe new physics across a large number of spectra in the presence of smoothly falling standard model backgrounds. DDP circumvents the need for simulated or functionally derived background estimates that are usually used in traditional analysis by directly predicting a statistical significance using a convolutional...
Dark matter experiments are dedicated to unravel the mysteries of the universe's dark abundance. ARGO represents an advancement in the field of liquid argon detectors for dark matter search, building upon the achievements of current detectors such as DarkSide20k and DEAP-3600.
For this presentation, we consider a single-phase cylindical detector measuring 7 meters in diameter and 7 meters...
The NEWS-G experiment, located at SNO lab, aims for direct detection of WIMPs via nuclear recoils using Spherical Proportional Counter (SPC). Accurate measurement of the recoil energy requires knowledge of quenching factor (QF). Our past measurements were performed in Ne+CH4 gas mixture at 2 bar. Next, we intend to measure QF for different gas mixtures with different detector parameters. To...
