Performances of a large mass ZnSe bolometer to search for rare events
Performances of a large mass ZnSe bolometer to search for rare events
Scintillating bolometers of ZnSe are the baseline choice of the LUCIFER experiment, whose aim is to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of 82Se. The independent read-out of the heat and scintillation signals allows to identify and reject alpha particle interactions, the dominant background source for bolometric detectors. In this …
