Discovery of underground argon with low level of radioactive 39Ar and possible applications to WIMP dark matter detectors
C. Galbiati, R. Purtschert
We report on the first measurement of 39Ar in argon from underground natural gas reservoirs. The gas stored in the US National Helium Reserve was found to contain a low level of 39…
First real time detection of Be7 solar neutrinos by Borexino
Borexino Collaboration
This paper reports a direct measurement of the Be7 solar neutrino signal rate performed with the Borexino low background liquid scintillator detector. This is the first real-time s…
A Scintillator Purification System for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Detector
J. Benziger, L. Cadonati, F. Calaprice +21
Purification of the 278 tons of liquid scintillator and 889 tons of buffer shielding for the Borexino solar neutrino detector was performed with a system that combined distillation…
The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment
J. Benziger, L. Cadonati, F. Calaprice +17
Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering o…
First results from a Dark Matter search with liquid Argon at 87 K in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory
P. Benetti, R. Acciarri, F. Adamo +29
A new method of searching for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) has been developed with the direct detection of the low energy nuclear recoils…
