Scintillating and optical spectroscopy of Al2O3 : Ti for dark matter searches
In order to optimize sapphire as a cryogenic scintillation-phonon detector for dark matter, Al2 O3 : Ti crystals with different concentrations of doping have been studied using continuous X-ray excitation in the 30-300 K temperature range. Light yields vary by 20% for Ti concentrations between 10 an...
