Implementation and Optimization of the PTOLEMY Transverse Drift Electromagnetic Filter
A. Apponi, M. G. Betti, M. Borghesi +53
The PTOLEMY transverse drift filter is a new concept to enable precision analysis of the energy spectrum of electrons near the tritium beta-decay endpoint. This paper details the i…
Response of Windowless Silicon Avalanche Photo-Diodes to Electrons in the 90-900 eV Range
Alice Apponi, Gianluca Cavoto, Marco Iannone +5
We report on the characterization of the response of windowless silicon avalanche photo-diodes to electrons in the 90-900 eV energy range. The electrons were provided by a monoener…
Carbon nanotubes as anisotropic target for dark matter
G Cavoto, M G Betti, C Mariani +4
Directional detection of Dark Matter (DM) particles could be accomplished by studying either ion or electron recoils in large arrays of parallel carbon nanotubes. For instance, a M…
PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter
E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…
IRIDE White Book, An Interdisciplinary Research Infrastructure based on Dual Electron linacs&lasers
D. Alesini, M. Alessandroni, M. P. Anania +211
This report describes the scientific aims and potentials as well as the preliminary technical design of IRIDE, an innovative tool for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide fi…
