Description

Accurate quenching factor measurements are important for interpreting data from dark matter experiments. This summer, I contributed to hardware calibration and preliminary data analysis in preparation for a neutron scattering campaign with NEWS-G at the University of Montreal, where a low-energy neutron beam will be used to measure the detectors response to nuclear recoils.
