Limits on the Existence of sub-MeV Sterile Neutrinos from the Decay of Be in Superconducting Quantum Sensors

S. Friedrich, G. B. Kim, C. Bray +14

Sterile neutrinos are natural extensions to the standard model of particle physics and provide a possible portal to the dark sector. We report a new search for the existence of sub…

Improving the Limits of Detection of Low Background Alpha Emission Measurements

Brendan D. McNally, Stuart Coleman, Jack T. Harris +1

Alpha particle emission, even at extremely low levels, is a significant issue in the search for rare events (e.g., double beta decay, dark matter detection). Traditional measuremen…
