L. Baudis, A. Dietz, G. Heusser, B. Majorovits, H. Strecker, H. V., Klapdor--Kleingrothaus
TL;DR
GENIUS-TF is a test facility designed to evaluate a large-scale detector for rare events, aiming to confirm or exclude the DAMA annual modulation signature within two years using natural germanium detectors in liquid nitrogen.
Contribution
It introduces a small-scale test facility for the GENIUS project to validate its approach for detecting rare events.
Findings
Potential to confirm or exclude DAMA signature within two years
Demonstrates feasibility of using 40 kg of natural Ge detectors in liquid nitrogen
Provides groundwork for large-scale GENIUS detector development
Abstract
GENIUS is a proposal for a large scale detector of rare events. As a first step of the experiment, a small test version, the GENIUS test facility, will be build up at the Laboratorio Nazionale del Gran Sasso (LNGS). With about 40 kg of natural Ge detectors operated in liquid nitrogen, GENIUS-TF could exclude (or directly confirm) the DAMA annual modulation signature within about two years of measurement.
