Experimental observations and theoretical arguments at galactic and larger scales pointed
out that a large fraction of the Universe is composed of Dark Matter (DM) particles. This has …

Inorganic crystal scintillators play a crucial role in particle detection for various applications
in fundamental physics and applied science. The use of such materials as scintillating …

Semi-empirical method of calculation of quenching factors for scintillators is described. It is
based on classical Birks formula with the total stop** powers for electrons and ions which …

A global calculation of favored α-decay half-lives of both even-A and odd-A deformed nuclei
is carried out in the framework of a deformed version of the density-dependent cluster model …

The double-beta decay of Cd 116 has been investigated with the help of radiopure enriched
Cd 116 WO 4 crystal scintillators (mass of 1.162 kg) at the Gran Sasso underground …

The set of parameters for α-nucleus potential is derived by using the data for both the α-
decay half-lives and the fusion cross sections around the barrier for reactions α+ Ca 40, α+ …

Final results of the double β decay experiment, performed with the help of low background
116 CdWO 4 crystal scintillators in the Solotvina Underground Laboratory, are presented. In …

The current status of the experimental searches for rare alpha and beta decays is reviewed.
Several interesting observations of alpha and beta decays, previously unseen due to their …

We have studied the energy resolution, α/β ratio, temperature dependence of the scintillation
properties, and the radioactive contamination of CaMoO4 crystal scintillators. We have also …

Scintillating bolometers of ZnSe are the baseline choice of the LUCIFER experiment, whose
aim is to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of 82 Se. The independent read-out of …
