An LNGS Mobile Neutron Detector (ALMOND): Mapping Ambient Neutron Background of Gran Sasso National Laboratory
Melih Solmaz, Klaus Eitel, Alfredo Davide Ferella +3
In deep underground laboratories, environmental neutrons, which are produced at the cavern walls, introduce a source of background to rare event searches. The flux and spectrum of…
Commissioning of a mobile neutron spectrometer for LNGS
Francesco Pompa, Klaus Eitel, Alfredo Davide Ferella +3
Environmental neutrons are a source of background for rare event searches in underground laboratories. Since the majority of the neutron background comes from the cavern walls due…
Comparison of the detector response and calibration function of metallic microcalorimeters for X-ray photons and external electrons
Neven Kovac, Fabienne Adam, Sebastian Kempf +6
Metallic microcalorimeters (MMCs) are cryogenic single-particle detectors that rely on a calorimetric detection principle. Due to their excellent energy resolution, close-to-ideal…
Radon Removal in XENONnT down to the Solar Neutrino Level
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +169
The XENONnT experiment has achieved an exceptionally low Rn activity concentration within its inner 5.9tonne liquid xenon detector of (0.900.01stat.$\…
Design of a mobile neutron spectrometer for the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS)
Melih Solmaz, Klaus Eitel, Kathrin Valerius +7
Environmental neutrons are a source of background for rare event searches (e.g., dark matter direct detection and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments) taking place in deep u…
GPU-based optical simulation of the DARWIN detector
L. Althueser, B. Antunović, E. Aprile +77
Understanding propagation of scintillation light is critical for maximizing the discovery potential of next-generation liquid xenon detectors that use dual-phase time projection ch…
