Search for two-neutrino double electron capture in Ar with the DarkSide-50 detector
50 Collaboration, P. Agnes, I. F. M. Albuquerque +83
Two-neutrino double electron capture is a rare nuclear decay where two electrons are simultaneously captured from the atomic shells and two neutrinos are emitted. We report on the…
Energy Calibration and Performance of HPGe Detectors in the LEGEND-200 Experiment
The LEGEND Collaboration, H. Acharya, M. Agostini +259
This paper describes the energy scale procedures and germanium detectors performance in the LEGEND-200 experiment, a critical component for the first unblinding in the search for n…
Alpha Background in Multi-Grid Neutron Detectors
A. Backis, C. -C. Lai, J. R. M. Annand +4
Alpha emission from actinide impurities in Al is a source of background counting rate in Multi-Grid type detectors of thermal neutrons. The alpha emission rates from samples of rad…
Procurement and Purification of Liquid Argon for the LEGEND-200 Experiment
Malgorzata Harańczyk, Patrick Krause, Tomasz Mróz +8
LEGEND-200 requires high-purity liquid argon for effective background discrimination. In this paper, we present the design, construction, and performance of a dedicated liquid argo…
Pulse shape discrimination for event rejection in BEGe-type high-purity germanium detectors
Alex Biondi, Krzysztof Szczepaniec, Tomasz Mróz +2
High-purity germanium detectors are widely used in rare-event searches due to their excellent energy resolution and extremely high intrinsic (radio)purity. In experiments searching…
Environmental -Ray Flux in Hall C at LNGS and Its Correlation with Radon Activity
L. Luzzi, R. Santorelli, G. Zuzel +8
We report a comprehensive measurement of the environmental -ray flux in Hall C of the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. A spatial mapping of the radiation was carried out using a…
