Detection of the natural alpha decay of tungsten

The natural α-decay of 180W has been unambiguously detected for the first time. The a peak is found in a (γ, β, and neutron)-free background spectrum. This has been achieved by the simultaneous measurement of phonon and light signals with the CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting...
