Search for reactor-produced millicharged particles with Skipper-CCDs at the CONNIE and Atucha-II experiments

Millicharged particles, proposed by various extensions of the standard model, can be created in pairs by high-energy photons within nuclear reactors and can interact electromagnetically with electrons in matter. Recently, the existence of a plasmon peak in the interaction cross-section with silicon in the eV range was highlighted as a …
