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…
Neutrino NSI in archaeological Pb
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +47
Dark matter direct detection experiments can observe solar neutrinos via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, making it possible to test new physics in the neutrino sector…
Compositional and morphological study of a Nuragic bronze figurine with neutron diffraction and neutron tomography
M. Cataldo, B. Billeci, S. Britto +6
Nuragic figurines are rare and unique examples of the mastery achieved by Sardinian craftsmen in the early Iron Age. These bronze artefacts were most likely cast using the lost wax…
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…
