    The LEGEND experiment searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (0vbb) in Germanium-76. Given the extreme rarity of this process, it is crucial to minimize the background and to develop effective analysis techniques to identify signal events. In particular, this poster focuses on Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) methods, which are optimized to identify signal events based on the shape of...

    Despite overwhelming evidence for dark matter in our universe, its true nature remains a mystery. In the search for direct detection, detectors using liquid xenon are currently leading in sensitivity. However, these experiments are increasingly limited by self-induced backgrounds, particularly the emanation of radon from detector materials. To address this challenge, a novel radon mitigation...

    To ensure the radiopurity of underground argon (UAr) for DarkSide-20k, the final version of the DArTinArDM experiment is being assembled at LSC in Spain. A 1-liter chamber, called DArT, will be filled with UAr and placed inside the ArDM detector, which will serve as an active veto. This setup is designed to measure depletion factors greater than 10,000 in the intrinsic activity of Ar-39. This...

    Xenon, a heavy noble gas, is an ideal target for direct dark matter detection. Several experiments utilize its ultraviolet scintillation to study interactions with nuclei and electrons. It is also known that gaseous xenon emits infrared light, which has been less extensively studied.
    A major reason for this is the availability of sensors that meet the stringent sensitivity and radioactivity...

    The CRESST experiment is one of the most sensitive experiments for the direct detection of light dark matter via nuclear recoils in a crystalline target. The mass range of dark matter particle candidates CRESST can probe is heavily influenced by the target material, with lighter elements being particularly advantageous for detecting lower mass dark matter.

    The standard dark matter search performed by LZ looks spin independent dark matter interactions in low energy xenon nuclear recoils. However, interactions at higher energies are possible and can be interpreted through the lens of effective field theory. Our plan for the high energy nuclear recoil search using data from LZ’s most recent science run is presented.

    One of the fundamental characteristics of blazars is their central black hole mass. In absence of broad emission lines, which is the case for the majority of blazars (i.e. BL Lacs), the black holes mass is estimated by analysing the luminosity of the host galaxies. To date, these galaxies are thought to be massive and luminous ellipticals, but the data sample supporting this conclusion is...

    The neutrinoless double beta decay is a process beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, in which a nucleus undergoes a double beta decay without any neutrinos in the final state.
