Researcher @ Dark Matter Detection
Working on DAMIC project developing Next-Gen CCD detectors for detection of dark matter,. Currently working with Fermi Lab on developing CCD detection software.
Abstract: DAMIC (Dark Matter in CCDs) is a novel dark matter experiment that has unique sensitivity to darkmatter particles with masses below 10 GeV. Due to its low electronic readout noise (R.M.S. ∼3 e-) this instrument is able to reach a detection threshold below 0.5 keV nuclear recoil energy, making the search for dark matter particles with low masses possible. We report on early results and experience gained from a detector that has been running at SNOLAB from Dec 2012.
