Probing dark matter interactions with a RES–NOVA prototype cryogenic detector
Abstract We report on the operation of a 13 g PbWO $$_4$$ 4 crystal, grown from archaeological Pb and operated as a cryogenic calorimeter in an underground environment. Read out with a Ge thermistor, the detector achieves a low energy threshold and, for the first time, enables th...

The modern framework for quantum thermalization is grounded in the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), in which non-integrability and chaos are historically assumed as prerequisites. This work investigates this relationship in a three-species Bose-Josephson Junction (BJJ)...

Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles
Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

Abstract The city of L’Aquila (central Italy) and its surrounding villages have been struck several times throughout history by strong earthquakes, most recently by the $$M_w$$ M w 6.1 event of April 6, 2009. Previously, on February 2, 1703, L’Aquila was partially destroyed by a...
