New experimental limits on the α decays of lead isotopes
Abstract
For the first time ancient Roman lead was used to grow a crystal of PbWO4 , and this crystal has subsequently been used as a cryogenic particle detector. The new device provides independent readout of heat and scintillation light and is able to discriminate between
