Radiopurity of a kg-scale PbWO cryogenic detector produced from archaeological Pb for the RES-NOVA experiment
J. W. Beeman, G. Benato, C. Bucci +41
RES-NOVA is a newly proposed experiment for the detection of neutrinos from astrophysical sources, mainly Supernovae, using an array of cryogenic detectors made of PbWO crystal…
Electron and Gamma Background in CRESST Detectors
R. F. Lang, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +39
The CRESST experiment monitors 300g CaWO_4 crystals as targets for particle interactions in an ultra low background environment. In this paper, we analyze the background spectra th…
Evidence for ground-state electron capture of K
L. Hariasz, M. Stukel, P. C. F. Di Stefano +24
Potassium-40 is a widespread isotope whose radioactivity impacts estimated geological ages spanning billions of years, nuclear structure theory, and subatomic rare-event searches -…
Results from 730 kg days of the CRESST-II Dark Matter Search
G. Angloher, M. Bauer, I. Bavykina +33
The CRESST-II cryogenic Dark Matter search, aiming at detection of WIMPs via elastic scattering off nuclei in CaWO crystals, completed 730 kg days of data taking in 2011. We pr…
Operation of an archaeological lead PbWO crystal to search for neutrinos from astrophysical sources with a Transition Edge Sensor
N. Ferreiro Iachellini, L. Pattavina, A. H. Abdelhameed +9
The experimental detection of the CENS allows the investigation of neutrinos and neutrino sources with all-flavor sensitivity. Given its large content in neutrons and stability…
The SWEET project: probing sugar crystals for direct dark matter searches
A. Bento, F. Casadei, E. Cipelli +11
Several experiments searching for direct dark matter interactions aim to achieve unprecedented sensitivity to sub-GeV/c dark matter masses through elastic scattering with nucle…
