Background discrimination with a Micromegas detector prototype and veto system for BabyIAXO

K. Altenmüller, J. F. Castel, S. Cebrián +22

In this paper we present measurements performed with a Micromegas X-ray detector setup. The detector is a prototype in the context of the BabyIAXO helioscope, which is under constr…

AlphaCAMM, a Micromegas-based camera for high-sensitivity screening of alpha surface contamination

Konrad Altenmüller, Juan F. Castel, Susana Cebrián +12

Surface contamination of $^{222}$ Rn progeny from the $^{238}$ U natural decay chain is one of the most difficult background contributions to measure in rare event searches experimen…

Identification of the cosmogenic $^{11}$ C background in large volumes of liquid scintillators with Borexino

M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +93

Cosmogenic radio-nuclei are an important source of background for low-energy neutrino experiments. In Borexino, cosmogenic $^{11}$ C decays outnumber solar $p e p$ and CNO neutrino ev…
