• Regarding the GAGG detector
    1. Gio gave the talk about the gagg detector and got good response at the LRT conference
    2. fixed the Octopus bugs and added new features for the PSD, details see https://wiki.sites.lngs.infn.it/doku.php?id=gagg-nd:processed_data_v2
    3. ideas about determining the half-life of the 152Gd alpha decay (Q = 2204 keV)
      1. 147Sm contamination (alpha decay with a Q-value of 2311 keV) in the low energy alpha peak
      2. perform the icpms
      3. order a new GAGG wafer and try to operate it as a bolometer which would have a much better energy resolution
  • Next step
    1. independent determination for the internal contaminations
    2. try to look for coincidence analysis: 214Bi (alphas) → 214Po (beta/gamma)
    3. finalize the delayed coincidence analyses by the end of October
    4. aim to submit our paper by the end of November at least
