Optimization of spherical proportional counter backgrounds and response for low mass dark matter search
Brossard, AlexisThe NEWS-G collaboration uses Spherical Proportional Counters to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP). The first detector developed for this goal is a 60 cm diameter sphere installed at the Laboratoire ... -
Phenomenological Studies and Analysis Techniques to Search for Light Dark Matter With NEWS-G
Durnford, DanielThe NEWS-G collaboration uses gas-filled Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs) to search for low-mass dark matter. As one of several competing collaborations pushing the low-energy frontier of particle detection technology, ... -
Solar KK axion search with NEWS-G
Vazquez de Sola Fernandez, FranciscoIn theories with extra dimensions, the standard QCD axion has excited states with higher mass. These Kaluza-Klein (KK) axions would have a signi cantly shorter decay time and, when produced by the Sun, would remain ...
