Mass spectrometric investigations into 3D printed parts to assess radiopurity as ultralow background materials for rare event physics detectors
Amanda D. French, Sonia Alcantar Anguiano, Mary Bliss +7
New data are reported for polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and two forms of polyetherimide (PEI, branded ULTEM 1010 and 9085). Data for starting filamen…
Mass spectrometric analyses of high performance polymers to assess radiopurity as ultra low background materials for rare event physics detectors
Jay W. Grate, Isaac J. Arnquist, Eric W. Hoppe +4
The mass concentrations of Th-232 and U-238 in several strong, unfilled, high performance polymers are reported as measures of their radiopurity. Highly radiopure polymers are requ…
Naturally occurring Si and low-background silicon dark matter detectors
J. L. Orrell, I. J. Arnquist, M. Bliss +2
The naturally occurring radioisotope Si represents a potentially limiting background in future dark matter direct-detection experiments. We investigate sources of Si…
