Muon-induced neutrons in lead and copper at shallow depth
R. Kneißl, A. Caldwell, Q. Du +6
Next generation low-background experiments require a detailed understanding of all possible radiation backgrounds. One important radiation source are muon-induced neutrons. Their p…
Characterisation of an n-type segmented BEGe detector
I. Abt, A. Caldwell, B. Donmez +10
A four-fold segmented n-type point-contact "Broad Energy" high-purity germanium detector, SegBEGe, has been characterised at the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik in Munich. The main…
The Muon-Induced Neutron Indirect Detection EXperiment, MINIDEX
I. Abt, A. Caldwell, C. Carissimo +8
A new experiment to quantitatively measure neutrons induced by cosmic-ray muons in selected high-Z materials is introduced. The design of the Muon-Induced Neutron Indirect Detectio…
Signal recognition efficiencies of artificial neural-network pulse-shape discrimination in HPGe -decay searches
A. Caldwell, F. Cossavella, B. Majorovits +2
A pulse-shape discrimination method based on artificial neural networks was applied to pulses simulated for different background, signal and signal-like interactions inside a germa…
The GALATEA Test-Facility for High Purity Germanium Detectors
I. Abt, A. Caldwell, B. Doenmez +7
GALATEA is a test facility designed to investigate bulk and surface effects in high purity germanium detectors. A vacuum tank houses an infrared screened volume with a cooled detec…
The background in the neutrinoless double beta decay experiment GERDA
The GERDA collaboration, M. Agostini, M. Allardt +111
The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS) of INFN is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge. The signature of th…
