Spherical proportional counters (SPCs) are gaseous particle detectors sensitive to single ionization electrons in their target media, with large detector volumes and low background rates. The $\mbox{NEWS-G}$ collaboration employs this technology search for low-mass dark matter, having previously performed searches at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM), including a recent campaign 135 cm diameter SPC filled methane. While situ calibrations of response were carried out LSM,...
The Northeast Atlantic, a highly productive maritime area, has been exposed to wide range of direct human pressures, such as fishing, shipping, coastal development, pollution, and non-indigenous species (NIS) introductions, in addition anthropogenically-driven global climate change. Nonetheless, this regional sea supports high diversity habitats, whose functioning provides variety ecosystem services, essential for welfare. In 2017, OSPAR, the Atlantic Regional Seas Commission, delivered an...
Abstract The New Experiments With Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) collaboration intends to achieve sub-GeV/c 2 Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) detection using Spherical Proportional Counters (SPCs). SPCs are gaseous detectors relying on ionisation with a single ionization electron energy threshold. latest generation of SPC for direct dark matter searches has been installed at SNOLAB in Canada 2021. This article details the different processes involved fabrication NEWS-G experiment. Also...

The NEWS-G collaboration uses spherical proportional counters (SPCs) to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In this paper, we report the first measurements of nuclear quenching factor in neon gas at 2 bar using an SPC deployed a neutron beam TUNL facility. energy-dependence is modeled simple power law: $\ensuremath{\alpha}{\mathrm{E}}_{\mathrm{nr}}^{\ensuremath{\beta}}$; determine its parameters by simultaneously fitting data collected with detector over range energies....
This report discusses some vital services that natural ecosystems contribute to human health and development.
ABSTRACT Creating representative networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) as part an ecosystem‐based management approach is generally advocated to protect the full spectrum ecosystems and vulnerable species. Core objectives for designing MPA incorporate issues scale, size spacing. Ascertaining when such have been met, thus a network can be judged ecologically coherent, presents ongoing challenge. This paper broad‐scale assess degree ecological coherence within one network. In 2013...
Abstract Many projects involving nuclear fuel rest on a quantitative understanding of the co-existing phases at various stages burnup. Since fission products have considerably different abilities to chemically associate with oxygen, and metal-to-oxygen molar ratio is necessarily increasing, chemical potential oxygen function Concurrently, well-recognized small fractions new such as inert gas, noble metals, zirconates, etc. also develop. To further complicate matters, dominant UO 2 phase may...
We present the conceptual design and physics potential of DarkSPHERE, a proposed 3 m in diameter spherical proportional counter electroformed underground at Boulby Underground Laboratory. This effort builds on R&D performed experience acquired by NEWS-G Collaboration. DarkSPHERE is primarily designed to search for nuclear recoils from light dark matter 0.05--10 GeV mass range. Electroforming shell implementation shield based pure water ensures background level below 0.01 dru. These, combined...
The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms active volume detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron same kinetic energy. This different behavior in ionization between electrons and nuclei is described Ionization Quenching Factor (IQF) it plays crucial role direct dark matter searches. For low energies (below $50~\mathrm{keV}$), IQF measurements deviate significantly from common models used for theoretical predictions simulations. We report proton,...
