In recent decades, several detector technologies have been developed with the quest to
directly detect dark matter interactions and to test one of the most important unsolved …

The DAMA/NaI experiment (≃ 100 kg highly radiopure NaI (Tl)) was proposed, designed
and realized to effectively investigate in a model-independent way the presence of a Dark …

Semi-empirical method of calculation of quenching factors for scintillators is described. It is
based on classical Birks formula with the total stopping powers for electrons and ions which …

This article reports the measurement of the ionization quenching factor in germanium for
nuclear recoil energies in the keV range. Precise knowledge of this factor in this energy …

Detection of low-energy nuclear recoil events plays a central role in searches for particle
dark matter interactions with atomic matter and studies of coherent neutrino scatters. Precise …

The final results of the EDELWEISS-I dark matter search using cryogenic heat-and-
ionization Ge detectors are presented. The final data sample corresponds to an increase by …

The channeling effect of low energy ions along the crystallographic axes and planes of NaI
(Tl) crystals is discussed in the framework of corollary investigations on WIMP dark matter …

Experimental observations and theoretical arguments at Galaxy and larger scales have
suggested that a large fraction of the Universe is composed by Dark Matter particles. This …

The amount of light produced by nuclear recoils in scintillating targets is strongly quenched
compared to that produced by electrons. A precise understanding of the quenching factor is …

We investigate the impact of a fourth sterile neutrino at reactor and Spallation Neutron
Source neutrino detectors. Specifically, we explore the discovery potential of the TEXONO …
