A Data-Driven Method for Measuring Position Resolution in the DEAP-3600 DarkMatter Detector
DownloadFall 2019
DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid Argon dark matter detector operated at SNOLAB in Ontario, Canada, searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). It is well-established that astronomical and cosmological observations suggest the existence of some form of unseen matter in the...

A LIKELIHOOD RATIO ALGORITHM FOR REMOVING LOCALIZED ALPHA PARTICLE BACKGROUNDS IN THE DEAP-3600 DETECTOR
DownloadSpring 2017
DEAP-3600 (Dark Matter Experiment using Argon for Pulse shape discrimination) is a single phase dark matter experiment using a tonne-scale mass of liquid argon as a target to observe spin-independent interactions with Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Alpha decays from radioactive...

A Search for Dark Matter Interactions in the DEAP 3600 Detector Using Fiducial Masses Ranging from 1433 to 2966 kg
DownloadFall 2023
The DEAP-3600 detector is a single-phase direct-detection Dark Matter (DM) experiment located 2 km underground at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. The detector consists of 3279 kg of liquid Argon contained in a spherical acrylic vessel. DEAP-3600 was specifically designed to search for direct detection...

Fall 2015
The DEAP-3600 experiment is a 3,600 kg Liquid Argon (LAr) target scintillation detector designed to detect the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter candidate. The detector works by detecting photons released by nuclear recoils of Argon nuclei, using an array of 255 nearly...

Fall 2018
Dark Matter is a fundamental building block and is essential for the universe to be understood on many scales. Currently, the top candidate for Dark Matter is a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP). The DEAP-3600 experiment was built to search for rare interactions between baryonic matter...

On Advances in LAS Instrumentation and Fiducial Volume Simulations of the S140 Detector for the NEWS-G Dark Matter Search Experiment
DownloadSpring 2023
NEWS-G is a direct detection dark matter experiment specializing in gas-ionization detectors called Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs) to search for low-mass par- ticle dark matter. Principal measurement campaigns undergone by NEWS-G, pre- viously at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM)...

Optimization of Processing Parameters and Development of a Radon Trapping System for the NEWS-G Dark Matter Detector
DownloadFall 2021
The direct detection for a dark matter particle is reaching increasingly lower sensitivities and the New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration is one of the experiments at the forefront of this. Currently being installed at SNOLAB two kilometres underground, the Spherical...

Physics From Beyond the Standard Model: Exotic Matter Searches at the LHC with the MoEDAL-MAPP Experiment
DownloadFall 2021
MoEDAL-MAPP is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing (HIP) and feebly interacting (FIP) particle avatars of new physics in p–p and heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Monopole and Exotics Detector At the LHC (MoEDAL) baseline detector first took...
