The idea of measuring the coherent elastic nuclear scattering of neutrinos emitted by a high intensity 51Cr radioactive source is investigated. To produce the high intensity source, the radioactive material used in the GALLEX experiment (36 kg of Chromium 38.6% enriched in 50Cr) could be reactivated to an intensity of few MCi. The advantages of...

Searches for new physics in the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering require a precise knowledge of the neutrino flux and energy spectrum. In this paper we investigate the feasibility and the performance of an experiment based on a Cr-51 source, whose neutrino spectrum is known and whose activity can be heat-monitored at few permil...

We developed a front-end electronic system for large area photomultipliers. Connection to the PMT can be made by a single cable, useful to minimize cabling in a underwater detector. The cabling is done in the rear part of the crate to permit easy access to the electronic boards. A front-end board houses 8 channels each one is composed by a...

Large mass bolometers, thanks to their good energy resolution and high radiopurity, can be used for rare event searches, such as neutrinoless double beta decay or dark matter direct detection. The bolometric technique has been adopted by the CUORE experiment which is composed by an array of 988 tellurium dioxide bolometers with a total active...

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) have gained popularity in particle physics due to their inherent advantages in terms of compactness, low power consumption, and high photon detection efficiency. Moreover, we have to deal with signals ranging from a few photoelectrons (PE), where we need to reconstruct the exact shape, up to thousands of PEs in...
