论文摘要
从密集填充的高纯晶锗探测器阵列内检测液体氩气闪光灯的能力使GERDA实验达到了异常较低的背景速率,以寻找$^{76} $ ge的中性s beta双β衰变。从液体氩气体积中的任何来源到新的光读出系统的最终检测,都可以洞悉拒绝能力,并且是获得可靠的背景预测的必要成分,从而,从液体氩气体积中的任何原点到其最终检测到其最终检测到其最终的检测。在本文中,我们介绍了由Monte Carlo模拟获得的GERDA液体氩气否决的模型,并受到校准数据的约束,并强调了其用于背景分解的应用。
The ability to detect liquid argon scintillation light from within a densely packed high-purity germanium detector array allowed the GERDA experiment to reach an exceptionally low background rate in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge. Proper modeling of the light propagation throughout the experimental setup, from any origin in the liquid argon volume to its eventual detection by the novel light read-out system, provides insight into the rejection capability and is a necessary ingredient to obtain robust background predictions. In this paper, we present a model of the GERDA liquid argon veto, as obtained by Monte Carlo simulations and constrained by calibration data, and highlight its application for background decomposition.
