Resonances in 19Ne with relevance to the astrophysically important 18F(p,α)15O reaction

D. J. Mountford, A. St J. Murphy, N. L. Achouri +11

The most intense gamma-ray line observable from novae is likely to be from positron annihilation associated with the decay of 18F. The uncertainty in the destruction rate of this n…

Radioactivity Backgrounds in ZEPLIN-III

H. M. Araujo, D. Yu. Akimov, E. J. Barnes +32

We examine electron and nuclear recoil backgrounds from radioactivity in the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment at Boulby. The rate of low-energy electron recoils in the liquid xeno…
