Neutral Bremsstrahlung emission in xenon unveiled
C. A. O. Henriques, P. Amedo, J. M. R. Teixeira +90
We present evidence of non-excimer-based secondary scintillation in gaseous xenon, obtained using both the NEXT-White TPC and a dedicated setup. Detailed comparison with first-prin…
Mitigation of Backgrounds from Cosmogenic Xe in Xenon Gas Experiments using He Neutron Capture
L. Rogers, B. J. P. Jones, A. Laing +89
\Xe{136} is used as the target medium for many experiments searching for \bbnonu. Despite underground operation, cosmic muons that reach the laboratory can produce spallation neutr…
The Next White (NEW) detector
F. Monrabal, J. J. Gómez-Cadenas, J. F. Toledo +72
Conceived to host 5 kg of xenon at a pressure of 15 bar in the fiducial volume, the NEXT- White (NEW) apparatus is currently the largest high pressure xenon gas TPC using electrolu…
High Voltage Insulation and Gas Absorption of Polymers in High Pressure Argon and Xenon Gases
L. Rogers, R. A. Clark, B. J. P. Jones +3
High pressure gas time projection chambers (HPGTPCs) are made with a variety of materials, many of which have not been well characterized in high pressure noble gas environments. A…
Radon and material radiopurity assessment for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +67
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT), intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay using a high-pressure xenon gas TPC filled with Xe enriched in 136Xe at…
Accurate gamma and MeV-electron track reconstruction with an ultra-low diffusion Xenon/TMA TPC at 10 atmospheres
Diego Gonzalez-Diaz, V. Alvarez, F. I. G. Borges +80
We report the performance of a 10 atm Xenon/trimethylamine time projection chamber (TPC) for the detection of X-rays (30 keV) and gamma-rays (0.511-1.275 MeV) in conjunction with t…
Radiopurity assessment of the tracking readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +68
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, which requires a severe suppression of p…
Present status and future perspectives of the NEXT experiment
The NEXT Collaboration, J. J. Gómez-Cadenas, V. Álvarez +74
NEXT is an experiment dedicated to neutrinoless double beta decay searches in xenon. The detector is a TPC, holding 100 kg of high-pressure xenon enriched in the Xe isotope…
Radiopurity control in the NEXT-100 double beta decay experiment: procedures and initial measurements
V. Alvarez, I. Bandac, A. Bettini +77
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) is intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, which requires a severe suppression of potential backgrounds…
