Investigating Optical Coupling Material Candidates in NaI(Tl) Detectors for the SABRE-North Dark Matter Experiment
Chemseddine Ananna, Gabriella Cataldi, Davide D'Angelo +21
Direct dark matter detection with NaI(Tl) scintillators requires ultra-low-background materials. Silicone optical pads can couple NaI(Tl) crystals to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) i…
Pulse shape discrimination for event rejection in BEGe-type high-purity germanium detectors
Alex Biondi, Krzysztof Szczepaniec, Tomasz Mróz +2
High-purity germanium detectors are widely used in rare-event searches due to their excellent energy resolution and extremely high intrinsic (radio)purity. In experiments searching…
A compact Optical Liquid Argon Facility at Roma Tre
Hexi Shi, Valerio D'Andrea, Giuseppe Salamanna +2
In this paper we present a compact test facility for the measurement of optical properties of liquid argon as scintillator. The setup is under preparation at Roma Tre and it has a…
Application of zone refining to the development of NaI(Tl) detectors for SABRE North
C. Ananna, F. B. Armani, G. Cataldi +23
The SABRE North experiment is developing ultra-high radiopurity NaI(Tl) detectors to investigate dark matter. To achieve this, SABRE North utilizes the technique called zone refini…
ASTAROTH: A Novel Detector for Dark Matter Direct Detection Using Cryogenic SiPMs
Edoardo Martinenghi, Valerio Toso, Fabrizio Bruno Armani +12
The DAMA experiment's long-standing claim of dark matter detection remains a key open issue in astroparticle physics. Independent verification requires NaI(Tl)-based detectors with…
LEGEND-1000 Preconceptual Design Report
LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, I. Abt +261
We propose the construction of LEGEND-1000, the ton-scale Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Decay. This international experiment is designed to answer one o…
