The large inner Micromegas modules for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer Upgrade: construction, quality control and characterization
J. Allard, M. Anfreville, N. Andari +71
The steadily increasing luminosity of the LHC requires an upgrade with high-rate and high-resolution detector technology for the inner end cap of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: the N…
Discovery of a big void in Khufu's Pyramid by observation of cosmic-ray muons
Kunihiro Morishima, Mitsuaki Kuno, Akira Nishio +31
The Great Pyramid or Khufu's Pyramid was built on the Giza Plateau (Egypt) during the IVth dynasty by the pharaoh Khufu (Cheops), who reigned from 2509 to 2483 BC. Despite being on…
Development of Mo-containing scintillating bolometers for a high-sensitivity neutrinoless double-beta decay search
E. Armengaud, C. Augier, A. S. Barabash +99
This paper reports on the development of a technology involving Mo-enriched scintillating bolometers, compatible with the goals of CUPID, a proposed next-generation bolomet…
LUMINEU: a search for neutrinoless double beta decay based on ZnMoO scintillating bolometers
E. Armengaud, Q. Arnaud, C. Augier +90
The LUMINEU is designed to investigate the possibility to search for neutrinoless double beta decay in Mo by means of a large array of scintillating bolometers based on ZnM…
Proceedings of the third French-Ukrainian workshop on the instrumentation developments for HEP
F. Alessio, S. Ya. Barsuk, L. Berge +70
The reports collected in these proceedings have been presented in the third French-Ukrainian workshop on the instrumentation developments for high-energy physics held at LAL, Orsay…
Sealed operation, and circulation and purification of gas in the HARPO TPC
M. Frotin, P. Gros, D. Attié +9
HARPO is a time projection chamber (TPC) demonstrator of a gamma-ray telescope and polarimeter in the MeV-GeV range, for a future space mission. We present the evolution of the TPC…
Neutron spectroscopy with the Spherical Proportional Counter
E. Bougamont, A. Dastgheibi, J. Derre +11
A novel large volume spherical proportional counter, recently developed, is used for neutron measurements. Gas mixtures of with and pure are studied fo…

D. V. Poda, E. Armengaud, Q. Arnaud +90
The technology of scintillating bolometers based on zinc molybdate (ZnMoO) crystals is under development within the LUMINEU project to search for 02 decay of Mo w…
Background optimization for a new spherical gas detector for very light WIMP detection
Ali Dastgheibi-Fard, I. Giomataris, G. Gerbierb +13
The Spherical gaseous detector (or Spherical Proportional Counter, SPC) is a novel type of par- ticle detector, with a broad range of applications. Its main features include a very…
NEWS : a new spherical gas detector for very low mass WIMP detection
G. Gerbier, I. Giomataris, P. Magnier +10
The main characteristics of a new concept of spherical gaseous detectors, with some details on its operation are first given. The very low energy threshold of such detector has led…
Purification of molybdenum oxide, growth and characterization of medium size zinc molybdate crystals for the LUMINEU program
V. N. Shlegel, L. Berge, R. S. Boiko +45
The LUMINEU program aims at performing a pilot experiment on neutrinoless double beta decay of 100Mo using radiopure ZnMoO4 crystals operated as scintillating bolometers. Growth of…
Ultra low energy results and their impact to dark matter and low energy neutrino physics
E. Bougamont, P. Colas, J. Derre +9
We present ultra low energy results taken with the novel Spherical Proportional Counter. The energy threshold has been pushed down to about 25 eV and single electrons are clearly c…
