SUMMARY:Chris Benson (UCB) - Using MiniCLEAN and measurements of microphysical material properties in the vacuum ultraviolet regime to inform next-generation dark matter and neutrino detectors
DESCRIPTION:Single phase\, zero-field\, liquid noble gas scintillator detectors are a simple\, scalable and cost-effective approach for dark matter and neutrino detection. MiniCLEAN is a liquid argon dark matter detector located 6\,800 feet underground at SNOLAB in Canada. In addition to its role as a detector for dark matter searches\, MiniCLEAN also serves as a technology demonstrator for a scalable\, single-phase detector and is aimed at informing the design and sensitivity of monolithic\, large-scale\, next-generation dark matter and neutrino detectors. This presentation will provide an overview of the MiniCLEAN experiment and a summary of the author’s contributions to construction\, commissioning\, and analysis efforts. The results of a supporting wavelength shifting thin film R&D effort\, a technology important to several current and future dark matter and neutrino experiments\, will also be presented.
