Online Rn removal by cryogenic distillation in the XENON100 experiment

XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +119

We describe the purification of xenon from traces of the radioactive noble gas radon using a cryogenic distillation column. The distillation column is integrated into the gas purif…

Results on neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge from GERDA Phase I

M. Agostini, M. Allardt, E. Andreotti +112

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a process that violates lepton number conservation. It is predicted to occur in extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. This Letter…

Spectral Measurement of the Bi beta-decay to the Po Ground State with XENONnT

E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +170

We report the measurement of the Bi beta-decay spectrum to the ground state of Po using the XENONnT detector. This decay is classified as first-forbidden non-unique…

Search for Light Dark Matter Interactions Enhanced by the Migdal effect or Bremsstrahlung in XENON1T

E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +131

Direct dark matter detection experiments based on a liquid xenon target are leading the search for dark matter particles with masses above 5 GeV/c, but have limited sens…
