    Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (skipper‑CCDs) enable measurements of individual ionization electrons with sub‑electron noise, opening new capabilities for rare‑event searches and low‑background instrumentation. Within the DAMIC‑M collaboration, we are developing and deploying large‑area skipper‑CCD arrays optimized for the detection of light dark matter and other weakly interacting particles....

  5. 45. Low background techniques at CAPA for WIMP and axion searches
    GLORIA LUZÓN MARCO
    04/02/2026, 09:46

    The techniques applied to study and reduce backgrounds in the context of experiments searching for the direct detection of WIMPs like ANAIS and TREX-DM, at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC), and for solar axions like BabyIAXO, at DESY, will be briefly presented. They include extensive material screening campaigns based on gamma spectroscopy with HPGe detectors at LSC, the development...
