The MIMA project. Design, construction and performances of a compact hodoscope for muon radiography applications in the context of Archaeology and geophysical prospections [PDF]
The Muon Imaging for Mining and Archaeology (MIMA) project aims at the development of a non-invasive technique for imaging dense structures or cavities, hidden in the underground or anyway surrounded by huge volumes of matter, based on Muon Absorption Radiography.

Operation of an archaeological lead PbWO$_4$ crystal to search for neutrinos from astrophysical sources with a Transition Edge Sensor [PDF]
The experimental detection of the CE$\nu$NS allows the investigation of neutrinos and neutrino sources with all-flavor sensitivity. Given its large content in neutrons and stability, Pb is a very appealing choice as target element. The presence of the radioisotope $^{210}$Pb (T$_{1/2}\sim$22 yrs) makes natural Pb unsuitable for low-background, low ...
