Abstract
The CRESST-III experiment aims at the direct detection of dark matter particles via their elastic scattering off nuclei in a scintillating CaWO_44 target crystal. For many years CaWO_44 crystals have successfully been produced in-house at Technische Universität München with a focus on high radiopurity. To further improve the CaWO_44 crystals, an extensive chemical purification of the raw materials has been performed and the crystal TUM93 was produced from this powder. We present results from an \alphaα-decay rate analysis performed on 344 days of data collected in the ongoing CRESST-III data-taking campaign. The \alphaα-decay rate could significantly be reduced.
crest - iii实验旨在通过暗物质粒子在闪烁的CaWO_44靶晶体中的弹性散射来直接探测暗物质粒子。多年来,CaWO_44晶体已经成功地在Technische Universität m nchen内部生产,重点是高放射性纯度。为了进一步改善CaWO_44晶体,对原料进行了广泛的化学纯化,并以该粉末为原料制备了晶体TUM93。我们展示了对正在进行的crest - iii数据采集活动中收集的344天数据进行的α α衰减率分析的结果。α-衰变速率明显降低。
