Description
Long-lived radioactive isotopes produced by cosmogenic activation can be a major source of background for rare event searches such as dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay. In this talk I will present efforts to measure and mitigate cosmogenic tritium production in silicon devices, focusing on a recent demonstration of a technique to efficiently remove cosmogenic tritium from high purity silicon.
