A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint
M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…
Results from Pilot Run for MEG II Positron Timing Counter
M. Nakao, A. De Bari, M. Biasotti +15
The MEG II experiment at Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland will search for the lepton flavour violating muon decay, , with a sensitivity of impro…
PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter
E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…
Status of the HOLMES Experiment to Directly Measure the Neutrino Mass
A. Nucciotti, B. Alpert, M. Balata +35
The assessment of neutrino absolute mass scale is still a crucial challenge in today particle physics and cosmology. Beta or electron capture spectrum end-point study is currently…
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU: improvement of the test setup towards the Demonstration Model
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +8
The ATHENA X-IFU development program foresees to build and characterize an instrument Demonstration Model (DM), in order to probe the system critical technologies before the missio…
The Cryogenic AntiCoincidence detector for ATHENA X-IFU: assessing the role of the athermal phonons collectors in the AC-S8 prototype
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +7
The ATHENA X-ray Observatory is the second large-class mission in the ESA Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 science programme. One of the two on-board instruments is the X-IFU, an imaging sp…
The Cryogenic Anticoincidence Detector for ATHENA X-IFU: Preliminary test of AC-S9 towards the Demonstration Model
Matteo D'Andrea, Claudio Macculi, Andrea Argan +9
Our team is developing the Cryogenic Anticoincidence Detector (CryoAC) of the ATHENA X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU). It is a 4-pixels TES-based detector, which will be placed le…
The design of the MEG II experiment
A. M. Baldini, E. Baracchini, C. Bemporad +72
The MEG experiment, designed to search for the mu+->e+ gamma decay at a 10^-13 sensitivity level, completed data taking in 2013. In order to increase the sensitivity reach of the e…
