The BUTTON-30 detector at Boulby
J. Bae, M. Bergevin, E. P. Bernard +62
The BUTTON-30 detector is a 30-tonne technology demonstrator designed to evaluate the potential of hybrid event detection, simultaneously exploiting both Cherenkov and scintillatio…
Enhancing Material Screening at Boulby Underground Laboratory with XIA UltraLo-1800 Alpha Particle Detectors
Sid El Moctar Ahmed Maouloud, Anh Nguyen, XinRan Liu +9
The Boulby UnderGround Screening (BUGS) facility, located at the Boulby Underground Laboratory, has significantly advanced its material screening capabilities by installing two XIA…
Ultra-Low Background Germanium Assay at the Boulby Underground Laboratory
P. R. Scovell, E. Meehan, S. M. Paling +6
As we move to an era where next generation low-background particle physics experiments begin to be designed and constructed, the ability to assay materials with high sensitivity an…
Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Volume reduction of water samples to increase sensitivity for radioassay of lead contamination
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, C. Canet, M. A. Cruz-Pérez +17
The World Health Organisation (WHO) presents an upper limit for lead in drinking water of 10 parts per billion ppb. Typically, to reach this level of sensitivity, expensive metrolo…
PlomBOX -- development of a low-cost CMOS device for environmental monitoring
A. Aguilar-Arevalo, E. Alba Posse, M. Alvarez +36
This paper reports on the development of a novel CMOS device employing lead-sensing bacteria to assay lead in drinking water. The objective of the PlomBOX project is to develop a l…
