Abstract

The BiPo-3 detector is a low radioactive detector dedicated to measuring ultra-low natural contaminations of ²⁰⁸Tl and ²¹⁴Bi in thin materials, initially developed to measure the radiopurity of the double β decay source foils of the SuperNEMO experiment at the μBq/kg level. The BiPo-3 technique consists in installing the foil of interest between two thin ultra-radiopure scintillators coupled to low radioactive photomultipliers. The design and performances of the detector are presented. In this paper, the final results of the ²⁰⁸Tl and ²¹⁴Bi activity measurements of the first enriched ⁸²Se foils are reported for the first time, showing the capability of the detector to reach sensitivities in the range of some μBq/kg.
