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…

A new amplification structure for time projection chambers based on electroluminescence

D. González-Díaz, M. Fontaíña, D. García Castro +6

A simple hole-type secondary scintillation structure (2 mm-hole, 5 mm-pitch, 5 mm-thickness) is introduced and its operation demonstrated in pure xenon in the pressure range 2-10 b…

Low-diffusion Xe-He gas mixtures for rare-event detection: Electroluminescence Yield

A. F. M. Fernandes, C. A. O. Henriques, R. D. P. Mano +88

High pressure xenon Time Projection Chambers (TPC) based on secondary scintillation (electroluminescence) signal amplification are being proposed for rare event detection such as 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…
