A novel experimental system for the KDK measurement of the K decay scheme relevant for rare event searches

M. Stukel, B. C. Rasco, N. T. Brewer +26

Potassium-40 (K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The decay products are prominent backgrounds for many rare event searches, including those involvi…
