GIOVE - A New Detector Setup for High Sensitivity Germanium Spectroscopy At Shallow Depth
Gerd Heusser, Marc Weber, Janina Hakenmüller +6
We report on the development and construction of the high-purity germanium spectrometer setup GIOVE (Germanium Inner Outer Veto), recently built and now operated at the shallow und…
Intrinsic neutron background of nuclear emulsions for directional Dark Matter searches
A. Alexandrov, T. Asada, A. Buonaura +24
Recent developments of the nuclear emulsion technology led to the production of films with nanometric silver halide grains suitable to track low energy nuclear recoils with submicr…
Lowering the radioactivity of the photomultiplier tubes for the XENON1T dark matter experiment
E. Aprile, F. Agostini, M. Alfonsi +95
The low-background, VUV-sensitive 3-inch diameter photomultiplier tube R11410 has been developed by Hamamatsu for dark matter direct detection experiments using liquid xenon as the…
Radiopurity of CaWO Crystals for Direct Dark Matter Search with CRESST and EURECA
A. Münster, M. v. Sivers, G. Angloher +38
The direct dark matter search experiment CRESST uses scintillating CaWO single crystals as targets for possible WIMP scatterings. An intrinsic radioactive contamination of the…
Gator: a low-background counting facility at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory
L. Baudis, A. D. Ferella, A. Askin +8
A low-background germanium spectrometer has been installed and is being operated in an ultra-low background shield (the Gator facility) at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in…
