Background identification in cryogenic calorimeters through $$\alpha -\alpha $$ delayed coincidences

Background identification in cryogenic calorimeters through $$\alpha -\alpha $$ delayed coincidences

Localization and modeling of radioactive contaminations is a challenge that ultra-low background experiments are constantly facing. These are fundamental steps both to extract scientific results and to further reduce the background of the detectors. Here we present an innovative technique based on the analysis of $\alpha-\alpha$ delayed coincidences in $^{232}$Th …
