We continue telling you about our visit to the DLNP Metrology Laboratory.
Applications of a precision laser inclinometer, developed by scientists from the Section of Laser Metrology of the DLNP Experimental Department of Multiple Hadronic Processes, are quite diverse. We already wrote how the device is used in physical mega-science facilities—colliders and gravitational telescopes.
“Neutrino Properties on the Basis of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay” by Alexander Klimenko
- Details
- Category: Seminars
Ongoing experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) were analyzed at the seminar. The GERDA experiment was discussed in more detail. It reached the record low background index on 2 counts / (FWHM⋅t⋅yr) in the region of 2039 keV using the array of bare germanium detectors enriched in 76Ge and immersed in liquid argon, which serves as active shielding.
