Mark Boulay

Mark Boulay is Professor of Experimental Physics at Carleton University's Department of Physics. His research focuses on developing advanced particle detectors for dark matter and neutrino physics, particularly liquid argon-based technologies. He contributes to major international collaborations including DEAP-3600 and SNO+.

Research emphasizes:

• Cryogenic scintillation detectors
• Low-background techniques
• Dark matter signature discrimination

Recent publications concentrate on improving detector sensitivity through novel materials (wavelength shifters) and background rejection methods. Technical innovations include cryogenic fluorescence characterization and argon purification systems.
