Two-dimensional Optical Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (OPPAC) with SiPM optical readout for heavy-ion tracking
Yassid Ayyad, Cristina Cabo, Marco Cortesi
We report the progress achieved on the development of a two-dimensional Optical Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (OPPAC) prototype for heavy-ion tracking. The device consists of tw…
Detection of scintillation light in noble gases with wavelength-shifting optical fibers
S. R. Soleti, S. Torelli, G. MartÃnez-Lema +110
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) techniques enable particle detectors based on noble gases, whose scintillation light is predominantly emitted in the vacuum-ultraviolet. We investigate WL…
Radon-induced backgrounds in the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, C. Cortes-Parra, P. Novella +111
The NEXT-100 detector at the LSC aims at the first competitive search for the \bbnonu decay using a high-pressure \Xe{136} electroluminescent time projection chamber. The first low…
-delayed proton pandemonium: A first detailed Cl()P decay scheme
Tamas Budner, Moshe Friedman, Lijie Sun +20
Positron decays of proton-rich nuclides exhibit large values, producing complex cascades which frequently involve various radiations, including protons and rays. Often, on…
Spectroscopy of Be from the Be() reaction measured in inverse kinematics by the AT-TPC in SOLARIS
M. Z. Serikow, D. Bazin, M. A. Caprio +21
The spectroscopy of Be is explored using the BeBe transfer reaction performed in inverse kinematics at $9.6\,\MeV/u$ using the Active Target Time Projec…
Electroluminescence Yield Measurements in Xenon Gas with the NEXT-DEMO++ Detector
NEXT Collaboration, J. Renner, J. D. Villamil +111
The NEXT-DEMO++ detector, a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber serving as a prototype for the NEXT-100 experiment, was used to measure the electroluminescence (EL) yie…
