Description
The NEWS-G experiment is a dark matter search that uses spherical proportional counters to detect low-energy particle interactions with great sensitivity. My work entails developing and implementing a new sensor design for the detector and perform experimental characterization through stability and spatial gain uniformity measurements using an Fe-55 source. These measurements are being used to evaluate detector performance and optimize the sensor operating conditions.
