Mitigation of Backgrounds from Cosmogenic Xe in Xenon Gas Experiments using He Neutron Capture

L. Rogers, B. J. P. Jones, A. Laing +89

\Xe{136} is used as the target medium for many experiments searching for \bbnonu. Despite underground operation, cosmic muons that reach the laboratory can produce spallation neutr…

Radio Frequency and DC High Voltage Breakdown of High Pressure Helium, Argon, and Xenon

K. Woodruff, J. Baeza-Rubio, D. Huerta +91

Motivated by the possibility of guiding daughter ions from double beta decay events to single-ion sensors for barium tagging, the NEXT collaboration is developing a program of R&D…

Radiogenic backgrounds in the NEXT double beta decay experiment

NEXT Collaboration, P. Novella, B. Palmeiro +88

Natural radioactivity represents one of the main backgrounds in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. Within the NEXT physics program, the radioactivity-induced background…

Demonstration of the event identification capabilities of the NEXT-White detector

NEXT Collaboration, P. Ferrario, J. M. Benlloch-Rodríguez +88

In experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay, the possibility of identifying the two emitted electrons is a powerful tool in rejecting background events and therefor…

Energy calibration of the NEXT-White detector with 1% resolution near Q of Xe

J. Renner, G. Díaz López, P. Ferrario +87

Excellent energy resolution is one of the primary advantages of electroluminescent high pressure xenon TPCs, and searches for rare physics events such as neutrinoless double-beta d…
