论文摘要
检测器时间分辨率的精确表征对于下一代低温测试测试实验至关重要,以寻找中性s的双β衰减(例如丘比特),以拒绝由于两种中性双β衰减事件的堆积而拒绝背景。在本文中,我们描述了一种用于研究低温强仪的堆积排斥能力的技术。我们的方法包括使用可编程波形生成器生产受控的堆积事件,其优点我们可以可靠地控制生成的堆积事件的各个组件的时间分离和相对能量。最终的数据使我们能够优化和基准分析策略,以区分个体和堆积的脉冲。我们描述了意大利的实验室Nazionali del Gran Sasso的一小群检测器进行的该技术的测试;我们获得了90%的拒绝效率,对脉冲显示生成的堆积事件的抑制效率约为15ms,到大约2ms的单个事件之间的时间分离。
Precise characterization of detector time resolution is of crucial importance for next-generation cryogenic-bolometer experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay, such as CUPID, in order to reject background due to pile-up of two-neutrino double-beta decay events. In this paper, we describe a technique developed to study the pile-up rejection capability of cryogenic bolometers. Our approach, which consists of producing controlled pile-up events with a programmable waveform generator, has the benefit that we can reliably and reproducibly control the time separation and relative energy of the individual components of the generated pile-up events. The resulting data allow us to optimize and benchmark analysis strategies to discriminate between individual and pile-up pulses. We describe a test of this technique performed with a small array of detectors at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, in Italy; we obtain a 90% rejection efficiency against pulser-generated pile-up events with rise time of ~15ms down to time separation between the individual events of about 2ms.
