Precision measurement of Zn electron-capture decays with the KDK coincidence setup
L. Hariasz, P. C. F. Di Stefano, M. Stukel +10
Zn is a common calibration source, moreover used as a radioactive tracer in medical and biological studies. In many cases, -spectroscopy is a preferred method of Z…
Evidence for ground-state electron capture of K
L. Hariasz, M. Stukel, P. C. F. Di Stefano +24
Potassium-40 is a widespread isotope whose radioactivity impacts estimated geological ages spanning billions of years, nuclear structure theory, and subatomic rare-event searches -…
Rare K decay with implications for fundamental physics and geochronology
M. Stukel, L. Hariasz, P. C. F. Di Stefano +24
Potassium-40 is a widespread, naturally occurring isotope whose radioactivity impacts subatomic rare-event searches, nuclear structure theory, and estimated geological ages. A pred…
Observation of a nuclear recoil peak at the 100 eV scale induced by neutron capture
CRAB Collaboration, NUCLEUS Collaboration, H. Abele +75
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and low-mass Dark Matter detectors rely crucially on the understanding of their response to nuclear recoils. We report the first observ…
The KDK (potassium decay) experiment
P. C. F. Di Stefano, N. Brewer, A. Fijałkowska +20
Potassium-40 (K) is a background in many rare-event searches and may well play a role in interpreting results from the DAMA dark-matter search. The electron-capture decay…
New Limits on Double Electron Capture of Ca and W
G. Angloher, M. Bauer, P. Bauer +53
We analyzed low-background data from the CRESST-II experiment with a total net exposure of 730 kg days to extract limits on double electron capture processes. We established new li…
Scintillator Non-Proportionality and Gamma Quenching in CaWO4
R. F. Lang, G. Angloher, M. Bauer +38
We measure and explain scintillator non-proportionality and gamma quenching of CaWO4 at low energies and low temperatures. Phonons that are created following an interaction in the…
Detection of the Natural Alpha Decay of Tungsten
C. Cozzini, G. Angloher, C. Bucci +21
The natural alpha decay of 180W has been unambiguously detected for the first time. The alpha peak is found in a (gamma,beta and neutron)-free background spectrum. This has been ac…
