Fluorescence Imaging of Individual Ions and Molecules in Pressurized Noble Gases for Barium Tagging in Xe
NEXT Collaboration, N. Byrnes, E. Dey +112
The imaging of individual Ba ions in high pressure xenon gas is one possible way to attain background-free sensitivity to neutrinoless double beta decay and hence establish…
Design, characterization and installation of the NEXT-100 cathode and electroluminescence regions
NEXT Collaboration, K. Mistry, L. Rogers +107
NEXT-100 is currently being constructed at the Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc in the Spanish Pyrenees and will search for neutrinoless double beta decay using a high-pressure…
NEXT-CRAB-0: A High Pressure Gaseous Xenon Time Projection Chamber with a Direct VUV Camera Based Readout
NEXT Collaboration, N. K. Byrnes, I. Parmaksiz +116
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay () remains one of the most compelling experimental avenues for the discovery in the neutrino sector. Electroluminescent gas-phas…
A Compact Dication Source for Ba Tagging and Heavy Metal Ion Sensor Development
K. E. Navarro, B. J. P. Jones, J. Baeza-Rubio +107
We present a tunable metal ion beam that delivers controllable ion currents in the picoamp range for testing of dry-phase ion sensors. Ion beams are formed by sequential atomic eva…
Reflectance and fluorescence characteristics of PTFE coated with TPB at visible, UV, and VUV as a function of thickness
J. Haefner, A. Fahs, J. Ho +100
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. In noble element systems, it is often coa…
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…
