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…
Search for Sterile Neutrinos with CUPID-0
O. Azzolini, J. W. Beeman, F. Bellini +50
Sterile neutrinos are well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model, introduced to address fundamental questions such as the origin of neutrino masses and the nature of dark matt…
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…
Ultra-trace analysis of U and Th in organic liquid scintillators with high sensitivity
A. Barresi, D. Chiesa, D. Merli +63
Rare event searches demand extremely low background levels, necessitating ever-advancing screening techniques to enhance sensitivity. Liquid scintillators are highly attractive as…
