Two-phase xenon detectors are being actively developed over the last decade and made substantial improvement of search sensitivity for WIMP dark matter. These detectors, operated in time projection chamber (TPC) mode, strongly suppress the electronic recoil background, making it possible to detect CEvNS of neutrinos at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). In addition, two-phase xenon detectors...
Progress and plans for DARKSIDE and QF measurements in LAr.
Despite evidence from LSND and MiniBooNE for sterile neutrinos at $Δm^2$ = 1 $eV^2$ in electron neutrino appearance experiments, corresponding muon-neutrino disappearance experiments have shown no anomalies. However, these experiments have been performed at a different energy scale compared to LSND and MiniBooNE. Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) is an experiment at the Lujan Center at LANSCE that...
We will discuss the sensitivity of the COHERENT experiment to test sub-GeV dark matter candidates that may be produced by the SNS and highlight the advantages of using CEvNS detectors for these searches. We also will show strategies within reach of the next generation of detectors that maximize discovery potential for such detectors.
The LZ dark matter detector is currently under construction at the 4850 level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. The experiment will contain 7 tonnes of pure xenon in a dual-phase Time Project Chamber (TPC) – a technology that has demonstrated very high sensitivities to hypothetical dark matter interactions. LZ is projected to reach unprecedented sensitivities for...
CYGNUS is a coordinated effort by dark matter direct search groups interested in directional signals, working towards design and build of a global network of directional WIMP experiments able to probe below the neutrino floor. As such, sensitivity is required to detection and measurement of Solar neutrino-nucleus scattering with directional information. The proposed technology is that of low...
