Article: Measurement of the background in the NEMO 3 double beta decay experiment
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the double beta decay experiment NEMO~3 a precise knowledge of the background in the signal region is of outstanding importance. This article presents the methods used in NEMO~3 to evaluate the backgrounds resulting from most if not all possible origins. It also illustrates the power of the combined tracking-calorimetry technique used in the experiment. Comment: 32 pages, 23 figures, submitted to NIM A03/2009;
