Full Spectrum Modeling of In Situ Gamma-ray Detector Measurements with a Focus on Precipitation-Induced Transients
Mark S. Bandstra, James M. Ghawaly, Douglas E. Peplow +9
Gamma-ray detectors that are deployed outdoors experience increased event rates during precipitation due to the attendant increase in Rn-222 progeny at ground level. The increased…
Supernova electron-neutrino interactions with xenon in the nEXO detector
nEXO Collaboration, S. Hedges, S. Al Kharusi +144
Electron-neutrino charged-current interactions with xenon nuclei were modeled in the nEXO neutrinoless double- decay detector (~5 metric ton, 90% Xe, 10% Xe)…
An integrated online radioassay data storage and analytics tool for nEXO
R. H. M. Tsang, A. Piepke, S. Al Kharusi +157
Large-scale low-background detectors are increasingly used in rare-event searches as experimental collaborations push for enhanced sensitivity. However, building such detectors, in…
Performance of novel VUV-sensitive Silicon Photo-Multipliers for nEXO
G. Gallina, Y. Guan, F. Retiere +162
Liquid xenon time projection chambers are promising detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0), due to their response uniformity, monolithic sensitive volume,…
Light Response of Poly(ethylene 2,6-napthalate) to Neutrons
Brennan Hackett, Richard deBoer, Yuri Efremenko +21
There is increasing necessity for low background active materials as ton-scale, rare-event and cryogenic detectors are developed. Poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) has been cons…
Development of a Xe calibration source for nEXO
B. G. Lenardo, C. A. Hardy, R. H. M. Tsang +125
We study a possible calibration technique for the nEXO experiment using a Xe electron capture source. nEXO is a next-generation search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($…
NEXO: Neutrinoless double beta decay search beyond year half-life sensitivity
nEXO Collaboration, G. Adhikari, S. Al Kharusi +158
The nEXO neutrinoless double beta decay experiment is designed to use a time projection chamber and 5000 kg of isotopically enriched liquid xenon to search for the decay in $^{136}…
Reflectivity of VUV-sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers in Liquid Xenon
M. Wagenpfeil, T. Ziegler, J. Schneider +140
Silicon photomultipliers are regarded as a very promising technology for next-generation, cutting-edge detectors for low-background experiments in particle physics. This work prese…
Discriminating Uranium Isotopes Based on Fission Signatures Induced by Delayed Neutrons
Kristofer Ogren, Jason Nattress, Igor Jovanovic
The use of active interrogation (AI) to induce delayed neutron emission is a well-established technique for the characterization of special nuclear materials (SNM). Delayed neutron…
Characterization of the C(p,p')C Reaction (E=19.530 MeV) for Active Interrogation
J. Nattress, F. Sutanto, P. -W. Fang +7
Passive detection of special nuclear material (SNM) is challenging due to its inherently low rate of spontaneous emission of penetrating radiation, the relative ease of shielding,…
