Systematic study of trace radioactive impurities in candidate construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, P. Grinberg, P. Weber +54
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) will search for double beta decays of 136Xe. We report the results of a systematic study of trace concentrations of radioactive impurities in a…
Track reconstruction in the emulsion-lead target of the OPERA experiment using the ESS microscope
L. Arrabito, C. Bozza, S. Buontempo +44
The OPERA experiment, designed to conclusively prove the existence of oscillations in the atmospheric sector, makes use of a massive lead-nuclear emulsion target t…
A linear RFQ ion trap for the Enriched Xenon Observatory
B. Flatt, M. Green, J. Wodin +39
The design, construction, and performance of a linear radio-frequency ion trap (RFQ) intended for use in the Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) are described. EXO aims to detect the…
The OPERA experiment Target Tracker
T. Adam
The main task of the Target Tracker detector of the long baseline neutrino oscillation OPERA experiment is to locate in which of the target elementary constituents, the lead/emulsi…
A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all-fluoropolymer vessel
EXO Collaboration, F. LePort, A. Pocar +42
A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of ultra-clean fluoropolymer. We describe the advantages in terms of low ra…
Hardware performance of a scanning system for high speed analysis of nuclear emulsions
L. Arrabito, E. Barbuto, C. Bozza +45
The use of nuclear emulsions in very large physics experiments is now possible thanks to the recent improvements in the industrial production of emulsions and to the development of…
