Kr and Ar Background in Genius
نویسنده
چکیده
GENIUS is a proposal for a large scale detector of rare events like double beta decay, cold dark matter and low-energy solar neutrinos in real time. The idea of GENIUS is to operate a large amount of " naked " Ge detectors in liquid nitrogen, with the aim of reducing the background down to a level of 10 −3 counts/kg keV y. In this work we investigate the contribution to the background of GENIUS coming from argon (39 Ar) and krypton (85 Kr) contamination in the liquid nitrogen.

THE EXTENDED LAW OF CORRESPONDING - STATES AND THE INTERMOLECULAR POTENTIALS FOR Ar-Ar, Ar-Kr AND Kr-Kr
An inversion procedure is used to obtain from the extended principle of corresponding - states the pair interaction potentials for argon, krypton and its mixture over a tetnperature range from absolute zero to the onset of ionization. The experimentally-reduced viscosity collision integrals obtained from the corresponding - states correlation have been inverted directly to give the reduced...

The potential of GENIUS as a dark matter detector is discussed. A study was performed to demonstrate the good behaviour of the proposed detector design of naked HPGe-crystals in liquid nitrogen. The expected background components were simulated and are discussed in some detail.With the obtained background GENIUS could cover a large part of the favoured MSSM parameter-space.

متن کاملIncreased Response to β2-Adrenoreceptor Stimulation Augments Inhibition of IKr in Heart Failure Ventricular Myocytes
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence indicates that the rapid component of delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Kr)) is modulated by α- and β-adrenergic stimulation. However, the role and mechanism regulating I(Kr) through β(2)-adrenoreceptor (β-AR) stimulation in heart failure (HF) are unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, we investigated the effects of fenoterol, a highl...
متن کاملPhotodissociation dynamics of the Kr-HBr cluster: the effect of the rare gas atom substitution.
The ultraviolet photolysis dynamics of Kr-HBr(v=0) is investigated by means of wave packet calculations, focusing on the fragmentation pathway Kr-HBr+ variant Planck's over 2pi omega-->H+Kr-Br. Photolysis is simulated by starting from two different cluster initial states, namely the ground van der Waals (vdW) and an excited vdW bending state, associated with the Kr-H-Br and Kr-Br-H isomers, res...
