The next generation of experiments looking for neutrinoless double beta decay will require detectors with tonne-scale masses and with zero background events in their region of interest. At present there is no technology that has proven to be capable of reaching such background levels. However, improvements in different aspects of the current technologies may allow for a background-free high...

The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) aims at measuring the neutron abundance in the final state of neutrino-nucleus interactions. This measurement will have a direct impact on our understanding of neutrino interactions and will lead to a better reduction of systematic errors and an improvement of signal-background discrimination in future large neutrino detectors,...

LiquidO is a new neutrino detection technology which uses opaque, or translucent, liquid scintillator, like milk or paraffine. The scintillation lights are confined within a few cm area by multiple scatterings and are read out by wave length shifting fibers stretched inside. Typical spacing between the fibers are ~cm and the points of origins of the scintillation light emission can be...

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) experiment at Gran Sasso National Laboratory of INFN searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) of $^{130}$Te using 742 kg of TeO$_2$ crystals operated as cryogenic bolometers at ~10 mK [1]. The CUORE cryostat – the today’s biggest milli-Kelvin infrastructure in the world [2] – provides the necessary cooling power at 4 K by...

Background rejection plays a crucial role for experiments searching for rare events, like neutrino-less double beta decay and dark matter interactions. Among the several detection technologies that were proposed to study these processes, cryogenic calorimeters stand out for the excellent energy resolution and the intrinsic radio-purity. Moreover, they can be coupled to a light detector that...

Potassium, K, element is volatile, and its precipitation is not the same as refractory U and Th elements in the Earth. A measurement of the K elements in the Earth is of interest to understand the chemical evolution of the Earth. Furthermore, the discussion on the Ar40-K40 system of the air, and the crust and upper mantle is one of the supports for the depleted and enriched two-layer mantle...
