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…
PETALO read-out: A novel approach for data acquisition systems in PET applications
V. Herrero-Bosch, R. Gadea, R. J. Aliaga +7
PETALO (a Positron Emission Tof Apparatus based on Liquid xenOn) is a new approach for Positron Emission Tomography scanners, based on liquid xenon. The PETALO detector aims at cap…
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,…
