    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    Borexino has been a solar neutrino detector based on 280 tons of ultrapure liquid scintillator, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. Its main scientific goal was the real-time measurement of solar neutrino fluxes, which play an irreplaceable role for the comprehension of the mechanisms powering our star.
    In the earlier data taking stage, Borexino completed the...

    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest cosmic ray observatory ever build- It samples the highest energy particles which travel through the interstellar medium by detecting the extensive showers they produce in the atmosphere. In this talk we will briefly review the main results of the observatory to understand the nature and origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays, and will...

    Oral Contribution

    A new detection system was designed for muography applications, based on scintillator bars and SiPM read-out. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate detector characteristics (efficiency, acceptance, resolution) aiming for secondary muon trajectory reconstruction.
    The basic unit of this detector, consisting of a scintillator bar with an optical fiber waveguide and two SiPM devices...

    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the first bolometric experiment searching for 0νββ decay that has been able to reach the one-tonne mass scale. The detector, located at the LNGS in Italy, consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. CUORE began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of...

  5. 229. The NEXT experiment at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (a neutrino-less beta decay search in 136Xe))
    Mr Gonzalo Díaz Lopez (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela)

    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) is an international collaboration with the objective of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in xenon. After an initial R&D phase in which the TPC technology was developed, it was able to successfully run a small (5 kg of xenon) detector, NEXT-White (2016-2021). The detector was hosted at Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc, an underground...

  6. 16. BINGO: Bi-Isotope 0ν2β Next Generation Observatory

    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    Neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) is a hypothetical rare nuclear transition. Its observation would provide an important insight about the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana particle) demonstrating that the lepton number is not conserved. BINGO aims to set the technological and conceptual grounds for future bolometric 0νββ experiments. It is based on a dual heat-light readout, i.e. a...

  7. 207. SiRO, a Scintillator Based Hodoscope for Muography Applications
    Madalina Dobre (National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering Horia Hulubei)
    P4 Astroparticle Physics
    Oral Contribution

    We report on the construction of the SiRO - SiPM ReadOut muon detector, a detection system based on plastic scintillator bars designed for muography applications. Using six layers of active medium grouped into three detection planes, the spatial coordinates of the muon’s impact point on every layer is obtained, information used for trajectory reconstruction. Validation studies have been...
