Probing spin-dependent dark matter interactions with 6 Li: CRESST Collaboration
Angloher, G.; Benato, G.; Bento, A.; Bertoldo, E.; Bertolini, A.; Breier, R.; Bucci, C.; Canonica, L.; D’Addabbo, A.; Di Lorenzo, S.; Einfalt, L.CRESST is one of the most prominent direct detection experiments for dark matter particles with sub- GeV/c2 mass. One of the advantages of the CRESST experiment is the possibility to include a large variety of nuclides in the target material used to probe dark matter interactions. In this work, we discuss in particular the interactions of dark matter particles with protons and neutrons of 6Li. This is now possi...
Cryogenic characterization of a $$\hbox {LiAlO}_{2}$$ crystal and new results o...
Abdelhameed, A. H.; Angloher, G.; Bauer, P.; Bento, A.; Bertoldo, E.; Breier, R.; Bucci, C.; Canonica, L.; D’Addabbo, A.; Di Lorenzo, S.; Erb, A.In this work, a first cryogenic characterization of a scintillating LiAlO2 single crystal is presented. The results achieved show that this material holds great potential as a target for direct dark matter search experiments. Three different detector modules obtained from one crystal grown at the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) have been tested to study different properties at cryogenic temperatures...
New limits on the resonant absorption of solar axions obtained with a $$^\mathb...
Abdelhameed, A. H.; Bakhlanov, S. V.; Bauer, P.; Bento, A.; Bertoldo, E.; Canonica, L.; Derbin, A. V.; Drachnev, I. S.; Iachellini, N. FerreiroA search for resonant absorption of solar axions by 169Tm nuclei was carried out. A newly developed approach involving low-background cryogenic bolometer based on Tm3Al5O12 crystal was used that allowed for significant improvement of sensitivity in comparison with previous 169Tm based experiments. Themeasurements performed with 8.18 g crystal during 6.6 days exposure yielded the following limits on axion coupli...
Immunological alterations in individuals exposed to metal(loid)s in the Panasqu...
Coelho, P.; García-Lestón, J.; Costa, S.; Costa, C.; Silva, S.; Fuchs, D.; Geisler, S.; Dall'Armi, V.; Zoffoli, R.; Bonassi, S.; Pásaro, E.; Laffon, B.Environmental studies performed in Panasqueira mine area (central Portugal) identified high concentrations of several metal(loid)s in environmental media, and individuals environmentally and occupationally exposed showed higher levels of As, Cr, Mg, Mn, Mo, Pb and Zn in blood, urine, hair and nails when compared to unexposed controls. To evaluate the presence of immunological alterations attributable to environ...
