Radiation shielding for underground low - background experiments
The design task of creating an efficient radiation shield for the new COBRA double-beta decay experiment led to a comprehensive study of commercially available shielding materials. The aim was to find the most efficient combination of materials under the constraints of an extreme low-background experiment operating in a typical underground laboratory. All existing shield configurations for this...
متن کاملNew approach to background subtraction in low-energy neutrino experiments
We discuss a new method to extract neutrino signals in low-energy experiments. In this scheme the symmetric nature of most backgrounds allows for direct cancellation from data. The application of this technique to the Palo Verde reactor neutrino oscillation experiment allows us to reduce the measurement errors on the antineutrino flux from ;20% to ;10%. We expect this method to substantially im...
متن کاملPurification of cerium, neodymium and gadolinium for low background experiments
Cerium, neodymium and gadolinium contain double beta active isotopes. The most interesting are Nd and Gd (promising for 02 search), Ce (2 candidate with one of the highest Q2). The main problem of compounds containing lanthanide elements is their high radioactive contamination by uranium, radium, actinium and thorium. The new generation 2 experiments require development of methods for a de...
متن کاملGamma background radiation in Yazd province A preliminary report
ABSTRACTBackground: There are relatively rich uranium mines in regions of Saghand and Bafgh in Yazd province. This survey was carried out to provide a map of ambient gamma radiation of Yazd province and the probable effects of the existence of these mines on background radiation dose rates.Materials and Methods: The measurements of the outdoor and indoor–environmental exposures (including cosm...
متن کاملLow-background Experiments with High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Detector
A scintillation proportional counter with wavelength shifting fiber readout filled with Xe or Kr under a pressure of up to 20 atm is proposed for the low–background experiments on search for dark matter of the Universe and 2K–decay of Kr.
