Radioactive contamination of SrI2(Eu) crystal scintillator
P. Belli, R. Bernabei, R. Cerulli +11
A strontium iodide crystal doped by europium (SrI2(Eu)) was produced by using the Stockbarger growth technique. The crystal was subjected to a characterization that includes relati…
Low background detector with enriched 116CdWO4 crystal scintillators to search for double beta decay of 116Cd
A. S. Barabash, P. Belli, R. Bernabei +28
A cadmium tungstate crystal boule enriched in Cd to 82% with mass of 1868 g was grown by the low-thermal-gradient Czochralski technique. The isotopic composition of cadmium…
Aluminum as a source of background in low background experiments
B. Majorovits, I. Abt, M. Laubenstein +1
Neutrinoless double beta decay would be a key to understanding the nature of neutrino masses. The next generation of High Purity Germanium experiments will have to be operated with…
Material screening and selection for XENON100
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +38
Results of the extensive radioactivity screening campaign to identify materials for the construction of XENON100 are reported. This Dark Matter search experiment is operated underg…
Muon and Cosmogenic Neutron Detection in Borexino
Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +86
Borexino, a liquid scintillator detector at LNGS, is designed for the detection of neutrinos and antineutrinos from the Sun, supernovae, nuclear reactors, and the Earth. The feeble…
Characterization of a broad energy germanium detector and application to neutrinoless double beta decay search in Ge-76
M. Agostini, E. Bellotti, R. Brugnera +7
The performance of a 630g commercial broad energy germanium (BEGe) detector has been systematically investigated. Energy resolution, linearity, stability vs. high-voltage (HV) bias…
