A new approach (called COBRA) for investigating double beta decay using CdTe (CdZnTe) semiconductor detectors is proposed. It follows the idea that source and detector are identical. This will allow simultaneous measurements of 5…
Spinless fermions on a lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion serve as a toy version Hubbard model, and have a symmetry-broken even/odd superlattice at half-filling. At infinite repulsion, doped holes form charged stripes which are…
It is important to identify and reduce the gamma radiation which can be a significant source of background for any double beta decay experiment. The TIN.TIN detector array, which is under development for the search of Neutrinoless Double…
