We present details of the technical design and manufacture of the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment. ZEPLIN-III is a two-phase xenon detector which measures both the scintillation light and the ionisation charge generated in the liquid by interacting particles and radiation. The instrument design is driven by both the physics requirements and by the technology requirements surrounding the use o...

For scintigraphic instruments such as scanners and scintillation cameras, collimatore with greatly dif ferent characteristics have become available during recent years. In general little information is given concerning the performance of focused collimatore to the physician or physicist who has to select the proper collimator for a particular application.! Only the number of holes, the focal le...

Inorganic scintillators are important elements of a new type of cryogenic phonon scintillation detector (CPSD) being developed for single particle detection. These detectors, exhibiting superior energy resolution and the ability to identify the type of interaction in an event, are considered to be the next generation of instrumentation in the search for extremely rare events. This paper present...

Scintillation light produced in liquid xenon (LXe) by alpha particles, electrons and gamma-rays was detected with a large area avalanche photodiode (LAAPD) immersed in the liquid. The alpha scintillation yield was measured as a function of applied electric field. We estimate the quantum efficiency of the LAAPD to be 45%. The best energy resolution from the light measurement at zero electric fie...

ProtoDUNE-DP is a 6x6x6 m3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as prototype of Dual Phase concept for DUNE Far Detector. The Photon Detection System (PDS) based on 36 8-inch photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) and allows triggering scintillation light signals produced by cosmic rays other charged particles traversing detector. acquisition calibrati...

Abstract Measuring the scintillation and ionization yields of liquid xenon in response to ultra-low energy nuclear recoil events is necessary increase sensitivity experiments light dark matter. Neutron capture on can be used produce with energies below 0.3 keV NR via asymmetric emission γ rays during de-excitation. The feasibility an measurement using neutron was investigated for Michigan Xenon...

A scintillating bolometer based on a large cubic Li$_{2}$$^{100}$MoO$_4$ crystal (45 mm side) and Ge wafer (scintillation detector) has been operated in the CROSS cryogenic facility at Canfranc underground laboratory Spain. The dual-readout detector is prototype of technology that will be used next-generation $0\nu2\beta$ experiment CUPID. measurements were performed 18 12 mK temperature pulse ...
