Gator (facility)
Gator is a low-background germanium counting facility for high-sensitivity gamma-ray spectrometry at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The Gator facility is primarily employed to quantify radioactivity levels for rare-event search experiments in astroparticle physics, such as for the XENON dark matter research project. In 2023, it was used to perform high-precision experimental searches for possible small violations of the Pauli exclusion principle. At its core, Gator deploys a high-purity germanium detector with a sensitive mass. This detector is shielded from ambient radioactivity by layers of copper, lead, and polyethylene. To mitigate radon present in air, the surrounding stainless steel enclosure is continuously flushed with nitrogen gas at positive pressure. Cosmic radiation is suppressed by the underground location of the facility, with a rock overburden In mining, overburden (also called waste or spoil) is the material that lies above an area that lends ...
