Reactor operation induced thermal effects on neutron flux measurements using He neutron detectors at a TRIGA Mk II research reactor
S. Dorer, C. Trunner, E. Jericha +5
A variation of the measured neutron flux using He detectors at a TRIGA Mk II nuclear research reactor during steady-state operation is reported in this article. The observed ef…
Sensitivity enhancement techniques for cryogenic calorimeters in the NUCLEUS experiment
M. Cappelli, A. Wallach, H. Abele +62
Phonon-mediated cryogenic calorimeters find application in rare event searches due to their intrinsically low energy threshold. Achieving the best sensitivity for this kind of dete…
Characterization of the Low Energy Excess using a NUCLEUS detector
H. Abele, G. Angloher, B. Arnold +62
The NUCLEUS experiment aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering of reactor antineutrinos using low-threshold, gram-scale cryogenic calorimeters. Similar to other…
Observation of two nuclear recoil peaks induced by neutron capture on Al2O3
H. Abele, P. Ajello, B. Arnold +43
We report the observation of two nuclear recoil peaks induced by neutron capture on aluminum in a cryogenic AlO detector developed by the NUCLEUS collaboration for the dete…
Particle background characterization and prediction for the NUCLEUS reactor CENS experiment
H. Abele, G. Anglogher, B. Arnold +57
NUCLEUS is a cryogenic detection experiment which aims to measure Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CENS) and to search for new physics at the Chooz nuclear power p…
Sub-keV Electron Recoil Calibration for Macroscopic Cryogenic Calorimeters using a Novel X-ray Fluorescence Source
H. Abele, G. Angloher, B. Arnold +61
Percent-level calibration of cryogenic macro-calorimeters with energy thresholds below 100~eV are crucial for light Dark Matter (DM) searches and reactor neutrino studies based on…
