Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6948-5101 Study of cosmogenic activation above ground of Ar for DarkSide-20k 2024 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The production of long-lived radioactive isotopes due to the exposure to cosmic rays on the Earth's surface is an hazard for experiments searching for rare events like the direct detection of galactic dark matter particles. The use of large amounts of liquid argon is foreseen in different projects, like the DarkSide-20k experiment, intended to look for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Here, results from the study of the cosmogenic activation of argon carried out in the context of DarkSide-20k are presented. The induced activity of several isotopes, including 39Ar, and the expected counting rates in the detector have been deduced, considering exposure conditions as realistic as possible. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.3 2024 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 60 / 79 = 0.759 2024 Q4 T3 0.427 2024 Mathematical Physics 2024 Q3 Instrumentation 2024 Q3 2.3 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 2004 390 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
