  5. What is a SiPM? • A SiPM is a matrix of SPADs and it usually has SPAD 1 × 1, 3 × 3, 6 × 6 mm 2 size • SPAD or μ cell (single photon avalanche photodiode) is the micro- component of a SiPM (10, 25, 35, 50, 100 mm) • Tile or Array is a matrix of SiPMs (up to 6 × 6 cm 2 ) � 5

  18. ReD low energy calibrations and directionality in Liquid Argon

  19. ������������� ����������� ReD Experiment LAr-PSD LAr TPC Target Neutron Beam Scattering Angle ��������� Neutron N-PSD Neutron Detector N-TOF • ReD experiment has first beam in June @ LNS TANDEM • Original goal is the directionality measurement (high energy nuclear recoils), now aiming also at a direct measurement of low energy nuclear recoil with same TPC by tuning appropriately the beam and geometry setups • A significant reduction in Q y uncertainty and “some” indication of the underlying distribution of the number of ionization electrons at very low recoil would allow significant improvement in the sensitivity at lower masses (1-2 GeV/c 2 )

  32. 39 Ar depletion in Urania+Aria • Urania plant is able to remove 85 Kr • By design more air leak tight wrt to DS50 plant → reduced 39 Ar content? • Relative volatility b/w 39 Ar and 40 Ar is 1.0015±0.0001 * • Thousands of distillation stages in a 350 m tall column (Seruci I) under construction in Nuraxi-Figus mine (Sulcis Iglesiente) • Would allow reduction of 39 Ar content by a factor 10 per pass • Seruci I production rate is calculated at 10 kg/day, perfectly matching the capacity needed to feed Ds-Proto (800 Kg total LAr) *from calculations
