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 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 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...

MUTE: A Program for High-Precision Calculations of Underground and Underwater Muon Intensities
DownloadSpring 2024
High-energy atmospheric muons originating from cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere have played a vital role in the field of astroparticle physics for nearly a century. Because the properties of the muons reflect the primary cosmic rays that produce them, they serve as a unique probe for...

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...

Studies on Radioactive Background Mitigation for the PICO-500 Dark Matter Search Experiment
DownloadFall 2024
The PICO-500 dark matter search experiment features the next-generation bubble chamber detector designed by the PICO collaboration. The sensitivity and live-time of ultra-low background detectors, such as PICO-500, are crucially dependent on the radio-pure materials used in the construction. The...

Fall 2021
Bubble chambers filled with fluorocarbons are a world-leading technology to search for nuclear recoils produced by spin-dependent WIMP dark matter particles. In this work, a novel bubble chamber using 28 ± 1 ml of the fluorocarbon C5F12 as target material is investigated. This superheated...
