Material radiopurity control in the XENONnT experiment
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +150
The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of the utmost importance for rare-event searches and thus critical to the XENONnT experiment. Results of an extensive rad…
Underground test of gravity-related wave function collapse
S. Donadi, K. Piscicchia, C. Curceanu +3
Roger Penrose proposed that a spatial quantum superposition collapses as a back-reaction from spacetime, which is curved in different ways by each branch of the superposition. In t…
Search for Low-Energy Signals from Fast Radio Bursts with the Borexino Detector
S. Appel, Z. Bagdasarian, D. Basilico +77
The search for neutrino events in correlation with several of the most intense fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been performed using the Borexino data. We have searched for signals wit…
Development of cryogenic calorimeters to measure the spectral shape of In-115 beta decay
E. Celi, Z. Galazka, M. Laubenstein +4
The spectral shape of forbidden beta-decays is a crucial benchmark for nuclear physics calculations and has important implications also for astroparticle physics experiments. Among…
Production and validation of scintillating structural components from low-background Poly(ethylene naphthalate)
Y. Efremenko, M. Febbraro, F. Fischer +28
Poly Ethylene Naphthalate (PEN) is an industrial polymer plastic which is investigated as a low background, transparent, scintillating and wavelength shifting structural material.…

V. D'Andrea, N. Di Marco, M. B. Junker +5
In the global landscape of neutrinoless double beta () decay search, the use of semiconductor germanium detectors provides many advantages. The excellent energy resolution, t…
Search for rare alpha and double beta decays of Yb isotopes to excited levels of daughter nuclei
M. Laubenstein, B. Lehnert, S. S. Nagorny +1
A search for alpha and double beta decays of ytterbium isotopes was performed with an ultra-low background high purity germanium detector at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory (Ital…
Correlated and Integrated Directionality for sub-MeV solar neutrinos in Borexino
M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +94
Liquid scintillator detectors play a central role in the detection of neutrinos from various sources. In particular, it is the only technique used so far for the precision spectros…
LEGEND-1000 Preconceptual Design Report
LEGEND Collaboration, N. Abgrall, I. Abt +261
We propose the construction of LEGEND-1000, the ton-scale Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless Decay. This international experiment is designed to answer one o…
Novel CSL bounds from the noise-induced radiation emission from atoms
Sandro Donadi, Kristian Piscicchia, Raffaele Del Grande +3
We study spontaneous radiation emission from matter, as predicted by the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) collapse model. We show that, in an appropriate range of energies…
New experimental limits on double-beta decay of osmium
P. Belli, R. Bernabei, F. Cappella +15
Double-beta processes in Os and Os were searched for over 15851 h at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the I.N.F.N. by using a 118 g ultra-pure osmium sa…
Identification of the cosmogenic C background in large volumes of liquid scintillators with Borexino
