Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals
Journal article European Physical Journal C · May 1, 2026 Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its reported observation of an annually modulating DM-like signal, which is in ...

Journal article Astrophysical Journal · March 1, 2026 The High-latitude Time-domain Survey (HLTDS) for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will discover thousands of high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to set generation-defining cosmological constraints on dark energy. To construct the Roman S ... Full text CiteSearch for Majorana Neutrinos with the Complete KamLAND-Zen Dataset.
Journal article Physical review letters · December 2025 We present a search for neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay of ^{136}Xe using the full KamLAND-Zen 800 dataset with 745 kg of enriched xenon, corresponding to an exposure of 2.1 ton yr of ^{136}Xe. This updated search benefits from a more than twofold in ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
