1208.5331 (Laura Cardani et al.)

A BGO scintillating bolometer for gamma and alpha spectroscopy    [PDF]

Laura Cardani, Sergio Di Domizio, Luca Gironi
A 891 g BGO scintillating bolometer has been tested at 10 mK in the underground Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). The discrimination capability, the radio-purity of the compound and the main features of the crystal have been studied in order to demonstrate the excellent performances obtained by operating a scintillating bolometer in the field of gamma and alpha spectroscopy. The sensitivity of this detector in the study of extremely low surface contaminations has been investigated.
