Deep-underground search for the decay of 180m-Ta with an ultra-low-background HPGe detector
R. Cerroni, S. Dell'Oro, A. Formicola +7
Ta is the longest-lived metastable state presently known. Its decay has not been observed yet. In this work, we report a new result on the decay of \mTa obtained with a $2…
CUORE Opens the Door to Tonne-scale Cryogenics Experiments
CUORE Collaboration, D. Q. Adams, C. Alduino +206
The past few decades have seen major developments in the design and operation of cryogenic particle detectors. This technology offers an extremely good energy resolution - comparab…
Characterization of SABRE crystal NaI-33 with direct underground counting
M. Antonello, I. J. Arnquist, E. Barberio +43
Ultra-pure NaI(Tl) crystals are the key element for a model-independent verification of the long standing DAMA result and a powerful means to search for the annual modulation signa…
The CUORE cryostat: an infrastructure for rare event searches at millikelvin temperatures
C. Alduino, F. Alessandria, M. Balata +53
The CUORE experiment is the world's largest bolometric experiment. The detector consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals, for a total mass of 742 kg. CUORE is presently taking dat…
Monte Carlo simulation of the SABRE PoP background
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +45
SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct dark matter search experiment based on an array of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals surrounded by a liquid scintillato…
The SABRE project and the SABRE PoP
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +46
SABRE aims to directly measure the annual modulation of the dark matter interaction rate with NaI(Tl) crystals. A modulation compatible with the standard hypothesis in which our Ga…
