TREX-DM: a low-background Micromegas-based TPC for low-mass WIMP detection
F. J. Iguaz, J. G. Garza, F. Aznar +8
If Dark Matter is made of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with masses below 20 GeV, the corresponding nuclear recoils in mainstream WIMP experiments are of energ…
Sensitivity of NEXT-100 to neutrinoless double beta decay
NEXT Collaboration, J. Martín-Albo, J. Muñoz Vidal +60
NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta () decay of Xe-136. The detector possesse…
Comissioning of TREX-DM, a low background Micromegas-based Time Projection Chamber for low mass WIMP detection
F. J. Iguaz, J. G. Garza, F. Aznar +8
Dark Matter experiments are recently focusing their detection techniques in low-mass WIMPs, which requires the use of light elements and low energy threshold. In this context, we d…
Background model of NaI(Tl) detectors for the ANAIS Dark Matter Project
J. Amare, S. Cebrian, C. Cuesta +10
A thorough understanding of the background sources is mandatory in any experiment searching for rare events. The ANAIS (Annual Modulation with NaI(Tl) Scintillators) experiment aim…
First proof of topological signature in the high pressure xenon gas TPC with electroluminescence amplification for the NEXT experiment
NEXT Collaboration, P. Ferrario, A. Laing +67
The NEXT experiment aims to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of xenon in a high-pressure Xe136 gas TPC using electroluminescence (EL) to amplify the signal from ionizatio…
Production and relevance of cosmogenic radionuclides in NaI(Tl) crystals
J. Amare, S. Cebrian, C. Cuesta +11
The cosmogenic production of long-lived radioactive isotopes in materials is an hazard for experiments demanding ultra-low background conditions. Although NaI(Tl) scintillators hav…
