Commissioning and first results from the Cold Radon Emanation Facility
Emily Perry, Chamkaur Ghag, Maurits Van der Grinten +4
Radon emanation from detector materials is a critical background for next-generation rare event searches, in particular those using noble liquid targets. While highly sensitive scr…
Energy Calibration and Performance of HPGe Detectors in the LEGEND-200 Experiment
The LEGEND Collaboration, H. Acharya, M. Agostini +259
This paper describes the energy scale procedures and germanium detectors performance in the LEGEND-200 experiment, a critical component for the first unblinding in the search for n…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
Determining Absolute Neutrino Mass using Quantum Technologies
A. A. S. Amad, F. F. Deppisch, M. Fleck +19
Next generation tritium decay experiments to determine the absolute neutrino mass require high-precision measurements of -decay electron energies close to the kinematic end poi…
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…
Fabrication of thin planar radiopure foils with 82Se for the SuperNEMO Demonstrator
X. Aguerre, A. Barabash, A. Basharina-Freshville +72
The SuperNEMO Demonstrator, designed to search for double beta decay using enriched 82Se, has been assembled in the Modane Underground Laboratory under the French Alps. Thin foils…
