Purification of molybdenum oxide, growth and characterization of medium size zinc molybdate crystals for the LUMINEU program
V. N. Shlegel, L. Berge, R. S. Boiko +45
The LUMINEU program aims at performing a pilot experiment on neutrinoless double beta decay of 100Mo using radiopure ZnMoO4 crystals operated as scintillating bolometers. Growth of…
First bolometric measurement of the two neutrino double beta decay of Mo with a ZnMoO crystals array
L. Cardani, L. Gironi, N. Ferreiro Iachellini +19
The large statistics collected during the operation of a ZnMoO array, for a total exposure of 1.3 kg day of Mo, allowed the first bolometric observation of the…
Discovery of the Eu decay
N. Casali, S. S. Nagorny, F. Orio +18
We report on the first compelling observation of decay of Eu to the ground state of Pm. The measurement was performed using a 6.15 g LiEu(BO) crysta…
Development of a Li2MoO4 scintillating bolometer for low background physics
L. Cardani, N. Casali, S. Nagorny +16
We present the performance of a 33 g Li2MoO4 crystal working as a scintillating bolometer. The crystal was tested for more than 400 h in a dilution refrigerator installed in the un…
GeFRO: a New Charge Sensitive Amplifier Design with a Minimal Number of Front-end Components
L. Cassina, C. Cattadori, A. Giachero +3
A new approach was developed for the design of front-end circuits for semiconductor radiation detectors. The readout scheme consists of a first stage made of only a few components…
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…
