A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics
Aalbers, J.; AbdusSalam, S. S.; Abe, K.; Aerne, V.; Agostini, F.; Ahmed Maouloud, S.; Akerib, D. S.; Akimov, D. Y.; Akshat, J.; Al Musalhi, A. K.The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon timeprojection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinol...

Ahdida, C.; Akmete, A.; Albanese, R.; Alt, J.; Alexandrov, A.; Anokhina, A.; Aoki, S.; Arduini, G.; Atkin, E.; Azorskiy, N.; Back, J. J.; Bagulya, A.
Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to light dark matter
Ahdida, C.; Akmete, A.; Albanese, R.; Alexandrov, A.; Anokhina, A.; Aoki, S.; Arduini, G.; Atkin, E.; Azorskiy, N.; Back, J. J.; Bagulya, A.Dark matter is a well-established theoretical addition to the Standard Model supported by many observations in modern astrophysics and cosmology. In this context, the existence of weakly interacting massive particles represents an appealing solution to the observed thermal relic in the Universe. Indeed, a large experimental campaign is ongoing for the detection of such particles in the sub-GeV mass range. Adopt...
Solar neutrino detection sensitivity in DARWIN via electron scattering
Aalbers, J.; Agostini, F.; Maouloud, S. E. M. Ahmed; Alfonsi, M.; Althueser, L.; Amaro, F. D.; Angevaare, J.; Antochi, V. C.; Antunovic, B.; Aprile, E.We detail the sensitivity of the proposed liquid xenon DARWIN observatory to solar neutrinos via elastic electron scattering. We find that DARWIN will have the potential to measure the fluxes of five solar neutrino components: pp, 7Be, 13N, 15O and pep. The precision of the 13N, 15O and pep components is hindered by the doublebeta decay of 136Xe and, thus, would benefit from a depleted target. A high-statistics...
