Non-radiometric techniques
- Lindis Skipperud (CERAD/NMBU)
A number of long-lived radionuclides suffer from half-life measurements that are outdated, have inconsistencies in the values obtained and/or limitations with regards to the uncertainty budget. When used in combination with absolute counting techniques, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is increasingly recognised as part of the metrological toolbox for providing updated and...
The GERDA (Germanium Detector Array) collaboration operates bare high-purity germanium detectors (HPGe) made out isotopically enriched material inside a cryogenic fluid shield to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) of 76Ge. Its successor, the LEGEND-200 (Large Enriched Germanium Experiment for Neutrinoless ββ Decay) experiment will re-use the GERDA experimental...
The AMoRE (Advanced Mo based Rare process Experiment) is an international collaboration for the neutrinoless double-beta (0ν𝛽𝛽) decay of the $^{100}$Mo isotope with cryogenic detectors using molybdate (100MoO4)-based scintillation crystals. The process requires that the detector apparatus and its components, scintillating crystals and initial materials used for the crystal growth be extremely...
