Cosmogenic radionuclide production in NaI(Tl) crystals
J. Amaré, S. Cebrián, C. Cuesta +11
The production of long-lived radioactive isotopes in materials due to the exposure to cosmic rays on Earth surface can be an hazard for experiments demanding ultra-low background c…
A Dark Matter Search with MALBEK
G. K. Giovanetti, N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo +84
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is an array of natural and enriched high purity germanium detectors that will search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76-Ge and perform a search…
Background Model for the Majorana Demonstrator
C. Cuesta, N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo +84
The Majorana Collaboration is constructing a system containing 40 kg of HPGe detectors to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of a future tonne-scale experiment capable of pr…
Testing the Ge detectors for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR
W. Xu, N. Abgrall, E. Aguayo +84
High purity germanium (HPGe) crystals will be used for the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR, where they serve as both the source and the detector for neutrinoless double beta decay. It is cru…
From ANAIS-25 towards ANAIS-250
J. Amaré, S. Cebrián, C. Cuesta +11
The ANAIS (Annual modulation with NaI(Tl) Scintillators) experiment aims at the confirmation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal using the same target and technique at the Canfranc Undergroun…
Scintillating bolometers: a key for determining WIMP parameters
D. G. Cerdeno, C. Cuesta, M. Fornasa +8
In the last decade direct detection Dark Matter (DM) experiments have increased enormously their sensitivity and ton-scale setups have been proposed, especially using germanium and…
Study of scintillation in natural and synthetic quartz and methacrylate
J. Amare, S. Borjabad, S. Cebrian +15
Samples from different materials typically used as optical windows or light guides in scintillation detectors were studied in a very low background environment, at the Canfranc Und…
