New experimental limits on the alpha decays of lead isotopes
J. W. Beeman, F. Bellini, L. Cardani +15
For the first time a PbWO4 crystal was grown using ancient Roman lead and it was run as a cryogenic detector. Thanks to the simultaneous and independent read-out of heat and scinti…
Validation of techniques to mitigate copper surface contamination in CUORE
F. Alessandria, R. Ardito, D. R. Artusa +115
In this article we describe the background challenges for the CUORE experiment posed by surface contamination of inert detector materials such as copper, and present three techniqu…
Performances of a large mass ZnMoO4 scintillating bolometer for a next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment
J. W. Beeman, F. Bellini, C. Brofferio +21
We present the performances of a 330 g zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) crystal working as scintillating bolometer as a possible candidate for a next generation experiment to search for neu…
