The Dynamics of Ions on Phased Radio-frequency Carpets in High Pressure Gases and Application for Barium Tagging in Xenon Gas Time Projection Chambers
NEXT Collaboration, B. J. P. Jones, A. Raymond +107
Radio-frequency (RF) carpets with ultra-fine pitches are examined for ion transport in gases at atmospheric pressures and above. We develop new analytic and computational methods f…
Boosting background suppression in the NEXT experiment through Richardson-Lucy deconvolution
A. Simón, Y. Ifergan, A. B. Redwine +100
Next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments aim for half-life sensitivities of ~ yr, requiring suppressing backgrounds to <1 count/tonne/yr. For this, any e…
Demonstration of background rejection using deep convolutional neural networks in the NEXT experiment
NEXT Collaboration, M. Kekic, C. Adams +88
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used state-of-the-art computer vision tools that are becoming increasingly popular in high energy physics. In this paper, we attempt…
Dependence of polytetrafluoroethylene reflectance on thickness at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths in air
S. Ghosh, J. Haefner, J. Martín-Albo +88
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. However, the reflectance of PTFE is a fun…
Sensitivity of the NEXT experiment to Xe-124 double electron capture
G. Martínez-Lema, M. Martínez-Vara, M. Sorel +88
Double electron capture by proton-rich nuclei is a second-order nuclear process analogous to double beta decay. Despite their similarities, the decay signature is quite different,…
Barium Selective Chemosensing by Diazacrown Ether Naphthalimide Turn-on Fluorophores for Single Ion Barium Tagging
P. Thapa, N. K. Byrnes, A. A. Denisenko +9
Single molecule fluorescence detection of barium is investigated for enhancing the sensitivity and robustness of a neutrinoless double beta decay () search in Xe, the…
