Neutron Flux at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory Revisited
The neutron flux induced by radioactivity at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory is revisited. We have performed calculations and Monte Carlo simulations; the results offer an independent check to the available experimental data reported by different authors, which vary rather widely. This study gives detailed information on the expected spectrum and on the variability of the neutron flux due...
متن کاملSearch for Double Beta Decay with Hpge Detectors at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory
Neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay is practically the only way to establish the Majorana nature of the neutrino mass and its decay rate provides a probe of an effective neutrino mass. Double beta experiments are long-running underground experiments with specific challenges concerning the background reduction and the long term stability. These problems are addressed in this work for the Heide...
متن کاملGamma background measurements in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory
In situ gamma-ray measurements were taken at eight locations in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (Italy). Count rates for gamma radiation within the energy range of 7-2,734 keV varied from 8 to 60 γ s-1. The arithmetic mean was 49 γ s-1 for measurements taken without a collimator. The average gamma flux inside the Lab was 0.25 γ cm-2 s-1. The sedimentary rocks surrounding the Lab are characte...
متن کاملNOE, a Neutrino Oscillation Experiment at Gran Sasso Laboratory
The project of a large underground experiment (NOE ) devoted to long baseline neutrino oscillation measurement is presented. The apparatus is composed by calorimetric modules interleaved with TRD modules and has been optimized to be sensitive in the region of sin 2θ and ∆m suggested by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation signal.
متن کامل(new) Neutrino Physics at Gran Sasso National Laboratory
Experiments in underground laboratories have shown evidence of physics beyond the standard model. The anomalies observed in electron-neutrinos from the sun and muonneutrinos from cosmic rays interactions in the atmosphere can be explained if neutrino are massive and oscillate. The physics program at the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory that we are defining will be focussed on the next phase of neutri...
