    MicroBooNE is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino experiment on the Booster Neutrino Beamline at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, with an 85-tonne active mass.
    One of MicroBooNE’s primary physics goals is to investigate the excess of electron neutrino events seen by MiniBooNE in the [200-600] MeV range.
    MicroBooNE will constrain the intrinsic electron neutrino...

  41. 66. A low-background Micromegas detector for IAXO and BabyIAXO
    Elisa Ruiz Choliz (Universidad de Zaragoza (ES))

    The baseline detection technique for IAXO and BabyIAXO consist of an ultra-low background Time Projection Chamber (TPC) coupled to pixelated Micromegas readout. Microbulk Micromegas detectors show convenient features for solar axion searches because their performance is very stable, they present good energy resolution in the IAXO range of interest, they provide topological information of the...

    Elisabetta Baracchini (Gran Sasso Science Institute)

    We are going to present the project for CYGNO, a 1kg gaseous TPC Dark Matter directional experiment, to be hosted at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. CYGNO (a CYGNus TPC with Optical readout) fits into the context of the wider CYGNUS collaboration, for the development of a Galactic Nuclear Recoil Observatory at the ton scale with directional sensitivity. The most innovative CYGNO's...

  45. 23. Dark atom solution for puzzles of direct dark matter searches
    Prof. Maxim Khlopov (APC/MEPHI)

    The puzzles of direct dark matter searches can find solution in the model of dark atoms, containing stable -2 charged lepton-like heavy particle bound by ordinary Coulomb interaction with primordial helium 4 nuclei. Specific properties of this nuclear interacting dark matter can explain positive results of DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments and negative results in cryogenic and heavy nuclei...

  46. 22. Dark Matter or Vivid Force
    Mohammad Javad Faraji (Saleh Research Centre)

    We must know that everything we can’t see or feel, we cannot say that it does not exist. And everything we see or feel, we can't always tell what or how it is made.
    The mass, by definition, is a measure of resistance of an object to acceleration when a force is applied.
    And, in principle, the mass occupies space and it is there where the force takes effect. Given what has been said, Dark...

  47. 71. DARWIN: Towards the Ultimate Dark Matter Detector
    Michelle Galloway

    The DARWIN (DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN) project is planning for a 50-ton ultimate liquid xenon dark matter detector. The experiment will reach sensitivity to WIMP nuclear recoil cross sections within a wide mass range down to the level of the irreducible neutrino background. In addition to WIMPs, DARWIN will also be sensitive to the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136,...

  49. 58. Developments for spherical single phase LXe TPCs
    Hiroyuki Sekiya (University of Tokyo)

    Until today, the most established detector which uses noble liquid gases is the two phase TPC, however, at the early stages of the study, several groups had been testing of both direct (S1) and proportional (S2) scintillation in liquid xenon. Recently, considering to make much larger detectors for dark matter, supernova neutrino, and 0, the single phase TPC has been revived.
    As a LXe...

  50. 75. Gas properties characterization for the NEWS-G detector
    Philippe Gros (Queen's University, Kingston, Canada)

    NEWS-G (New Experiments With Spheres-Gas) is a direct dark matter detection experiment using Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs). Key advantages of SPCs for dark matter search and especially light mass DM particles are their low energy threshold -single ionisation electron- and the possibility to use various light target nuclei -Neon/Helium/CH4 gases-. Dark
    matter limits were obtained in...

  51. 62. Low BG TPC for direction-sensitive dark matter search
    Kentaro Miuchi (Kobe University)

    Low BG TPC is a powerful tool for direction-sensitive dark matter search.
    I will present our R&D of negative ion TPC, TPC with resistive sheet, and latest NEWAGE results.

  56. 28. Optical readout of GEM-based TPCs: ultra-fast optical readout and transparent readout anodes
    Dr Florian Maximilian Brunbauer (CERN, Vienna University of Technology (AT))

    The high signal amplification factors achievable by multi-layer amplification stages of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEMs) and the possibility to record scintillation light emitted during avalanche multiplication with high-granularity imaging sensors makes optical readout of GEM-based detectors an attractive technology for Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). Optically read out GEM-based TPCs...

    Dr Carla Macolino (LAL - Orsay)

    XENON1T is the world’s largest and most sensitive detector for direct dark matter search in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The detection principle is based on a double-phase TPC (Time Projection Chamber), using about 2 tonnes of Xenon.
    In this talk the latest results from the experiment, after collecting an exposure of 1.0 tonne x year, are discussed. The data are...

  61. 76. Review of NEWS-G Dark Matter searches and related projects
    Guillaume Giroux (Queen's University)

    The NEWS-G (New Experiments With Spheres – Gas) collaboration searches for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters (SPCs) located in deep underground laboratories. A choice of light gas targets (Ne, He, H) in conjunction with sub-KeV nuclear recoil thresholds allow for sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) down to 0.1 GeV/c^2. The recent results...

    Theopisti Dafni (Universidad de Zaragoza (ES))

    The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is the proposed fourth generation axion helioscope, aiming to improve the sensitivity of the currently most sensitive, third generation experiment (CAST) by more than one order of magnitude. This sensitivity is expected to come from an axion-physics dedicated magnet equipped with x-ray focusing devices that will be coupled to low-background detectors....

    Jaime Victoria Dawson (Universite de Paris VII (FR))

    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will use a large liquid argon (LAr) detector consisting of four modules each with a fiducial mass of 10 kt of LAr. One of the technology options for the far detector modules is a liquid-argon TPC working in dual phase mode.

  73. 1. Study and mitigation of spurious electron emission from cathodic wires in noble liquid time projection chambers
    Dr Alfredo Tomas Alquezar (Imperial College London)

    Noble liquid radiation detectors have long been afflicted by spurious electron emission from their cathodic electrodes. This phenomenon must be understood and mitigated in the next generation of liquid xenon (LXe) experiments searching for WIMP dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay, and in the large liquid argon (LAr) detectors for the long-baseline neutrino programmes. We present a...

  74. 61. The MicroBooNE continuous readout stream for detection of supernova neutrinos
    Dr José I. Crespo-Anadón (Columbia University)

    Since the original detection of core-collapse supernova neutrinos in 1987, all large neutrino experiments seek to detect the neutrinos from the next nearby supernova. Among them, liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) offer a unique sensitivity to the electron neutrino flux. However, the low energy of the events (scale of MeVs), and the fact that all large (multi-tonne) LArTPCs...
