Reflectance of Silicon Photomultipliers at Vacuum Ultraviolet Wavelengths
P. Lv, G. F. Cao, L. J. Wen +148
Characterization of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) reflectance of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) is important for large-scale SiPM-based photodetector systems. We report the angula…
Measurements of electron transport in liquid and gas Xenon using a laser-driven photocathode
O. Njoya, T. Tsang, M. Tarka +153
Measurements of electron drift properties in liquid and gaseous xenon are reported. The electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect in a semi-transparent gold photocathode…
Measurement of the scintillation and ionization response of liquid xenon at MeV energies in the EXO-200 experiment
200 Collaboration, G. Anton, I. Badhrees +99
Liquid xenon (LXe) is employed in a number of current and future detectors for rare event searches. We use the EXO-200 experimental data to measure the absolute scintillation and i…
VUV-sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers for Xenon Scintillation Light Detection in nEXO
A. Jamil, T. Ziegler, P. Hufschmidt +140
Future tonne-scale liquefied noble gas detectors depend on efficient light detection in the VUV range. In the past years Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have emerged as a valid al…
nEXO Pre-Conceptual Design Report
nEXO Collaboration, S. Al Kharusi, A. Alamre +171
The projected performance and detector configuration of nEXO are described in this pre-Conceptual Design Report (pCDR). nEXO is a tonne-scale neutrinoless double beta () deca…
Trace radioactive impurities in final construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, D. Auty, T. Didberidze +98
We report results from a systematic measurement campaign conducted to identify low radioactivity materials for the construction of the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment. Partial…
Measurement of the Drift Velocity and Transverse Diffusion of Electrons in Liquid Xenon with the EXO-200 Detector
200 Collaboration, J. B. Albert, P. S. Barbeau +84
The EXO-200 Collaboration is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay using a liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber. This measurement relies on modeling the transport of c…
Investigation of radioactivity-induced backgrounds in EXO-200
J. B. Albert, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +83
The search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) requires extremely low background and a good understanding of their sources and their influence on the rate in the region of pa…
An apparatus to manipulate and identify individual Ba ions from bulk liquid Xe
K. Twelker, S. Kravitz, M. Montero Díez +77
We describe a system to transport and identify barium ions produced in liquid xenon, as part of R&D towards the second phase of a double beta decay experiment, nEXO. The goal is to…
The EXO-200 detector, part I: Detector design and construction
M. Auger, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +78
EXO-200 is an experiment designed to search for double beta decay of Xe with a single-phase, liquid xenon detector. It uses an active mass of 110 kg of xenon enriched to 80…
Xenon purity analysis for EXO-200 via mass spectrometry
A. Dobi, C. Hall, S. Slutsky +73
We describe purity measurements of the natural and enriched xenon stockpiles used by the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment based on a mass spectrometry technique. The sensitivit…
A magnetically-driven piston pump for ultra-clean applications
F. LePort, R. Neilson, P. S. Barbeau +77
A magnetically driven piston pump for xenon gas recirculation is presented. The pump is designed to satisfy extreme purity and containment requirements, as is appropriate for the r…
