Radiopurity measurements of liquid scintillator for the COSINE-100 Upgrade
J. Kim, C. Ha, S. H. Kim +12
A new 2,400 L liquid scintillator has been produced for the COSINE-100 Upgrade, which is under construction at Yemilab for the next COSINE dark matter experiment phase. The linear-…
Lowering threshold of NaI(Tl) scintillator to 0.7 keV in the COSINE-100 experiment
G. H. Yu, N. Carlin, J. Y. Cho +56
COSINE-100 is a direct dark matter search experiment, with the primary goal of testing the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA, using the same target material, NaI(Tl).…
Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
Background study of the AMoRE-pilot experiment
A. Agrawal, V. V. Alenkov, P. Aryal +105
We report a study on the background of the Advanced Molybdenum-Based Rare process Experiment (AMoRE), a search for neutrinoless double beta decay (\znbb) of Mo. The pilot s…
Alpha backgrounds in NaI(Tl) crystals of COSINE-100
G. Adhikari, N. Carlin, D. F. F. S. Cavalcante +60
COSINE-100 is a dark matter direct detection experiment with 106 kg NaI(Tl) as the target material. 210Pb and daughter isotopes are a dominant background in the WIMP region of inte…
