First operation of poly(ethylene naphthalate) enclosures for high-purity germanium detectors in liquid argon for K/Ar mitigation
Christoph Vogl, Tommaso Comellato, Konstantin Gusev +10
Commercial argon contains cosmogenic Ar whose progeny K is a critical background component for the Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Decay (…
Ar Production and Injection to a Liquid Argon Environment for Background Mitigation Studies
Mario Schwarz, Christoph Vogl, Niko N. P. N. Lay +6
Atmosphere-sourced argon contains traces of Ar, whose $β^-$-decaying progeny K represents a significant intrinsic background for rare-event experiments using liquid…
First Results on the Search for Lepton Number Violating Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with the LEGEND-200 Experiment
H. Acharya, N. Ackermann, M. Agostini +256
The LEGEND collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta () decay by operating high-purity germanium detectors enriched in Ge in a low-background liquid a…
Search for the in-situ production of Ge in the GERDA neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment
M. Agostini, A. Alexander, G. Araujo +108
The beta decay of Ge and Ge, both produced by neutron capture on Ge, is a potential background for Germanium based neutrinoless double-beta decay sea…
