Combining Hybrid and Opaque Scintillator Techniques in the Search for Double Beta Plus Decays
read the original abstract
Double beta plus decay is a rare nuclear disintegration process. Difficulties in its measurement arise from suppressed decay probabilities, experimentally challenging decay signatures and low natural abundances of suitable candidate nuclei. In this article, we propose a new detector concept to overcome these challenges. It is based on the first-time combination of hybrid and opaque scintillation detector technology paired with novel light read-out techniques. This approach is particularly suitable detecting positron (beta plus) signatures. We expect to discover two-neutrino double beta plus decay modes within 1 tonne-week exposure and are able to probe neutrinoless double beta plus decays at several orders of magnitude improved significance compared to current experimental limits.

First Demonstration of a Hybrid Cherenkov and Scintillation Detector in a Proof-of-Principle Axion Search at a Beam Dump
First event-by-event Cherenkov separation from sub-MeV electrons in liquid argon enables a proof-of-principle ALP search excluding new parameter space despite no observed excess.
