The primary goal of ESQUIRE (Experiment with Scintillating Quantum dots for Ionizing Radiation Events) is the development of a new family of scintillation detectors based on scintillating nanocrystals coupled to high-quantumefficiency solid-state detectors. These detectors will be designed for the search of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ), therefore an excellent energy resolution in the region of interest for the study of 0νββ (∼2% around 3MeV) is mandatory. One of the main advantages in this approach is the easy mass scalability, which makes ESQUIRE a competitive option for next-generation experiments. During the discussion the project goal will be presented, alongside the first optical characterization of QD samples.

Abstract
The primary goal of ESQUIRE (Experiment with Scintillating Quantum dots for Ionizing Radiation Events) is the development of a new family of scintillation detectors based on scintillating nanocrystals coupled to high-quantumefficiency solid-state detectors. These detectors will be designed for the search of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ), therefore an excellent energy resolution in the region of interest for the study of 0νββ (∼2% around 3MeV) is mandatory. One of the main advantages in this approach is the easy mass scalability, which makes ESQUIRE a competitive option for next-generation experiments. During the discussion the project goal will be presented, alongside the first optical characterization of QD samples.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
