Radiopurity assessment of the tracking readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment

S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +68

The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, which requires a severe suppression of p…

Cosmogenic radionuclide production in NaI(Tl) crystals

J. Amaré, S. Cebrián, C. Cuesta +11

The production of long-lived radioactive isotopes in materials due to the exposure to cosmic rays on Earth surface can be an hazard for experiments demanding ultra-low background c…

Bulk NaI(Tl) scintillation low energy events selection with the ANAIS-0 module

C. Cuesta, J. Amaré, S. Cebrián +11

Dark matter particles scattering off some target nuclei are expected to deposit very small energies in form of nuclear recoils (below 100 keV). Because of the low scintillation eff…

Scintillating bolometers: a key for determining WIMP parameters

D. G. Cerdeno, C. Cuesta, M. Fornasa +8

In the last decade direct detection Dark Matter (DM) experiments have increased enormously their sensitivity and ton-scale setups have been proposed, especially using germanium and…

Radiopurity of CaWO Crystals for Direct Dark Matter Search with CRESST and EURECA

A. Münster, M. v. Sivers, G. Angloher +38

The direct dark matter search experiment CRESST uses scintillating CaWO single crystals as targets for possible WIMP scatterings. An intrinsic radioactive contamination of the…
