Alpha backgrounds in the DEAP dark matter search experiment.
(2012-08-10)One of the pressing concerns in Dark Matter detection experiments is ensuring that the potential signal from exceedingly rare Dark Matter interactions is not obscured by background from interactions with more common ... -
Pulse shape discrimination studies in liquid argon for the DEAP-1 detector
(2008-04-25)A detector with a target mass of 7 kg of liquid argon was designed, constructed and operated at Queen’s University. This detector is a scaled model for the DEAP project toward a tonne-scale argon detector to search for the ... -
Radioreduction and Radiopurity of Acrylic in the DEAP-3600 Dark Matter Experiment
The DEAP-3600 experiment is a single-phase liquid argon dark matter detector employing pulse discrimination to mitigate background-like events and isolate WIMP-like events. The vessel that holds 3600~kg of target, and the ...
