Quenching and Channeling of Nuclear Recoils in NaI[Tl]: Implications for Dark Matter Searches

Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | First 5 Authors: J. I. Collar, , , , | Summary: A new experimental evaluation of the quenching factor for nuclear recoils in NaI[Tl] is described. Systematics affecting previous measurements are addressed by careful characterization of the emission spectrum of the neutron source, use of a small scintillator coupled […]
