High-Purity Zinc for Low-Background Experiments
— A process has been developed for the preparation of high-purity granulated zinc for the growth of Zn 82 Se scintillator crystals intended for investigation of neutrinoless double beta decay, 2β(0ν), of the 82 Se isotope in the CUPID-0 experiment. We have determined the chemical and isotopic compos...

A process has been developed for the preparation of high-purity granulated zinc for the growth of Zn
82
Se scintillator crystals intended for investigation of neutrinoless double beta decay, 2β(0ν), of the
82
Se isotope in the CUPID-0 experiment. We have determined the chemical and isotopic compositions of high-purity zinc prepared by this process and assessed its radionuclide purity. The background spectrum of the high-purity zinc, measured with a germanium detector, showed no peaks of natural
40
K,
60
Co, or
137
Cs radionuclides or ones from the uranium–thorium decay series. We have noticed an increased activity of the
54
Mn,

Со,
57
Со,
58
Co, and
65
Zn nuclides, resulting mainly from the exposure to cosmic rays. |
