在寻找单色峰作为无中微子双β衰变的特征时,一个出色的能量分辨率和围绕衰变Q值的超低本底是必不可少的。联想-200实验使用浸泡在液态Ar中的76Ge的高纯度锗探测器进行这样的搜索。为了确定和监测锗二极管的能量标度和分辨率的稳定性,在晶体附近定期部署定制的低中子发射228 Th源。在这里,我们描述了可用于安装在实验中的17个源的产生过程,它们的α和伽马活度的测量,以及用深埋在地下的低本底LiI(Eu)探测器测定中子发射率。在通量为(4.27±0.60STAT±0.92Syst)×10-4n/(kBq·S)的情况下,与LEGGE-200中的其他背景源相比,主要来自76Ge激活的中子本底率可以忽略不计。
In the search for a monochromatic peak as the signature of neutrinoless double beta decay an excellent energy resolution and an ultra-low background around the Q-value of the decay are essential. The LEGEND-200 experiment performs such a search with high-purity germanium detectors enriched in 76 Ge immersed in liquid argon. To determine and monitor the stability of the energy scale and resolution of the germanium diodes, custom-made, low-neutron emission 228 Th sources are regularly deployed in the vicinity of the crystals. Here we describe the production process of the 17 sources available for installation in the experiment, the measurements of their alpha-and gamma-activities, as well as the determination of the neutron emission rates with a low-background LiI (Eu) detector operated deep underground. With a flux of (4.27±0.60 stat±0.92 syst)× 10-4 n/(kBq· s), approximately one order of magnitude below that of commercial sources, the neutron-induced background rate, mainly from the activation of 76 Ge, is negligible compared to other background sources in LEGEND-200.
