Limits on uranium and thorium bulk content in GERDA Phase I detectors
GERDA collaboration, M. Agostini, M. Allardt +113
Internal contaminations of U, U and Th in the bulk of high purity germanium detectors are potential backgrounds for experiments searching for neutrinoless d…
Results from a Calibration of XENON100 Using a Source of Dissolved Radon-220
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +118
A Rn-220 source is deployed on the XENON100 dark matter detector in order to address the challenges in calibration of tonne-scale liquid noble element detectors. We show that the P…
Search for Two-Neutrino Double Electron Capture of Xe with XENON100
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +114
Two-neutrino double electron capture is a rare nuclear decay where two electrons are simultaneously captured from the atomic shell. For Xe this process has not yet been obs…
DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector
J. Aalbers, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +116
DARk matter WImp search with liquid xenoN (DARWIN) will be an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core.…
Limit on the Radiative Neutrinoless Double Electron Capture of Ar from GERDA Phase I
M. Agostini, M. Allardt, A. M. Bakalyarov +115
Neutrinoless double electron capture is a process that, if detected, would give evidence of lepton number violation and the Majorana nature of neutrinos. A search for neutrinoless…
A Rn-220 source for the calibration of low-background experiments
Rafael F. Lang, Andrew Brown, Ethan Brown +5
We characterize two 40 kBq sources of electrodeposited Th-228 for use in low-background experiments. The sources efficiently emanate Rn-220, a noble gas that can diffuse in a detec…
