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…
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…
The Microwave Air Yield Beam Experiment (MAYBE): measurement of GHz radiation for Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays detection
M. Monasor, M. Bohacova, C. Bonifazi +18
We present first measurements by MAYBE of microwave emission from an electron beam induced air plasma, performed at the electron Van de Graaff facility of the Argonne National Labo…
ATLAS RPC Quality Assurance results at INFN Lecce
M. Bianco, I. Borjanovic, G. Cataldi +10
The main results of the quality assurance tests performed on the Resistive Plate Chamber used by the ATLAS experiment at LHC as muon trigger chambers are reported and discussed. Si…
Ageing test of the ATLAS RPCs at X5-GIF
G. Aielli, M. Alviggi, V. Ammosov +32
An ageing test of three ATLAS production RPC stations is in course at X5-GIF, the CERN irradiation facility. The chamber efficiencies are monitored using cosmic rays triggered by a…
ATLAS RPC Cosmic Ray Teststand at INFN Lecce
G. Cataldi, G. Chiodini, R. Assiro +17
We describe the design and functionality of the cosmic ray teststand built at INFN Lecce for ATLAS RPC quality control assurance.
