Description
Nuclear recoil events resulting in color centers can be caused by neutron scattering, coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) or dark matter scattering opens the door to the creation of durable, mineral-based, solid-state detection modalities. In this talk, we present measurements of Radiation-Induced Luminosity (RIL) in CaF 2 crystals. We report on the change in RIL as a function of dose, persistence of the RIL over time, and explore the role that Sm2+ and Sm3+ impurity sites in RIL.
