Ba ion trapping by organic submonolayer: towards an ultra-low background neutrinoless double beta decay detector
P. Herrero-Gómez, J. P. Calupitan, M. Ilyn +112
If neutrinos are their own antiparticles, the otherwise-forbidden nuclear reaction known as neutrinoless double beta decay () can occur, with a characteristic lifetime which…
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…
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…
Sensitivity of a tonne-scale NEXT detector for neutrinoless double beta decay searches
NEXT Collaboration, C. Adams, V. Álvarez +96
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe-136 using high-pressure xenon gas TPCs with electroluminescent amplification.…
Barium Tagging with Selective, Dry-Functional, Single Molecule Sensitive On-Off Fluorophores for the NEXT Experiment
N. K. Byrnes, A. A. Denisenko, F. W. Foss +5
In the search for neutrinoless double beta decay, understanding and reducing backgrounds is crucial for success. An advance that could drive backgrounds to negligible levels would…
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…
Barium Chemosensors with Dry-Phase Fluorescence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
P. Thapa, I. Arnquist, N. Byrnes +6
The nature of the neutrino is one of the major open questions in experimental nuclear and particle physics. The most sensitive known method to establish the Majorana nature of the…
Progress toward Barium Tagging in High Pressure Xenon Gas with Single Molecule Fluorescence Imaging
N. Byrnes, F. W. Foss, B. J. P Jones +4
We present an update on the development of techniques to adapt Single Molecule Fluorescent Imaging for the tagging of individual barium ions in high pressure xenon gas detectors, w…
