Solar axion searches with RES-NOVA: projected sensitivity and first prototype limit
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +49
RES-NOVA is a cryogenic experiment based on PbWO4 scintillating bolometers produced from archaeological lead, originally designed to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scatte…
Probing large mass-splitting inelastic Dark Matter with RES-NOVA
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +46
Probing inelastic dark matter at large mass splittings requires heavy target nuclei, an extended recoil-energy range, and the high-velocity tail of the dark-matter distribution. We…
A rapid low-background assay of Pb in archaeological lead
M. Consonni, M. Clemenza, E. Di Stefano +11
In this work, we present a fast and highly efficient method for the measurement of Pb in metallic archaeological lead using the commercial low-background liquid scintillati…
Probing dark matter interactions with a RES-NOVA prototype cryogenic detector
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +44
We report on the operation of a 13 g PbWO crystal, grown from archaeological Pb and operated as a cryogenic calorimeter in an underground environment. Read out with a Ge thermi…
A new dark matter direct search based on archaeological Pb
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +44
The RES-NOVA project is an experimental initiative aimed at detecting neutrinos from the next galactic supernova using PbWO cryogenic detectors, operated at low temperatures…
