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…
First Results on the Search for Lepton Number Violating Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with the LEGEND-200 Experiment
H. Acharya, N. Ackermann, M. Agostini +256
The LEGEND collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta () decay by operating high-purity germanium detectors enriched in Ge in a low-background liquid a…
