抄録 | Highly radiopure NaI(Tl) was developed to search for particle candidates of dark matter. Optimized methods were combined to reduce various radioactive impurities. 40K was effectively reduced by the recrystallization method. The progenies of the decay chains of uranium and thorium were reduced by appropriate resins. The concentration of natural potassium in NaI(Tl) crystal was reduced to 20 ppb. Concentrations of alpha-ray emitters were successfully reduced by appropriate resin selection. The present concentrations of the thorium series and 226Ra were 1.2±1.4μBq/kg and 13±4μBq/kg, respectively. No significant excess in the concentration of 210Pb was obtained, and the upper limit was 5.7 μBq/kg at 90% CL. The achieved level of radiopurity of NaI(Tl) crystals makes the construction of a dark matter detector possible.
