Background stability and annual modulation test using PICOLON ultra-pure NaI(Tl) detector

PICOLON Collaboration, K. Kotera, D. Chernyak +20

The dark matter observation claimed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has been a long-standing puzzle within the particle physics community. NaI(Tl) crystals with radiopurity comparable…

Development of highly radiopure NaI(Tl) scintillator for PICOLON dark matter search project

K. Fushimi, Y. Kanemitsu, S. Hirata +20

The highly radiopure NaI(Tl) was developed to search for particle candidates of dark matter. The optimized methods were combined to reduce various radioactive impurities. The $^{40…
