CRESST II background discrimination: Detection of W-180 natural decay in a pure alpha-spectrum

For the first time the natural alpha decay of W-180 has been unambiguously detected in a (gamma, beta and neutron)-free background spectrum. This has been obtained by simultaneously measuring phonon and light signals with CRESST 11 cryogenic detectors. Results on the radio purity of the detectors an...
