A New Low Background Laboratory in the Pyhäsalmi Mine : Towards 14C free liquid scintillator for low energy neutrino experiments
2017
A new low background laboratory in Pyhäsalmi mine in the Central Finland has been put into operation in the beginning of 2017. The laboratory operates at the depth of 1436 m (~4100 meters of water equivalent). In this paper, we present description of the laboratory’s existing facility and background conditions. In the laboratory, a series of measurements has been started where the 14C concentration is determined from several liquid scintillator samples. A dedicated setup has been designed and constructed with the aim of measuring the 14C/12C ratio smaller than 10-18 . peerReviewed
Mass Analyzing Recoil Apparatus, MARA
2019
An in-flight zero-angle mass separator, MARA, has been recently constructed and commissioned at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. MARA is a double focusing device, consisting of a quadrupole driplet, electrostatic deflector, and magnetic dipole. This separator is built for nuclear structure studies to be performed around the N∼Z line and at beyond the proton drip line. peerReviewed
