Direct measurement of neutrons induced in lead by cosmic muons at a shallow underground site
Qiang Du, Iris Abt, Anton Empl +9
Neutron production in lead by cosmic muons has been studied with a Gadolinium doped liquid scintillator detector. The detector was installed next to the Muon-Induced Neutron Indire…
Alpha-event and surface characterisation in segmented true-coaxial HPGe detectors
Iris Abt, Lucia Garbini, Chris Gooch +4
A detailed study of alpha interactions on the passivation layer on the end-plate of a true-coaxial high-purity germanium detector is presented. The observation of alpha events on s…
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…
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…
