The nEXO Radioassay Program
R. MacLellan, P. Acharya, B. Aharmim +148
Material radioactivity compilations, such as the one presented here, are important enablers of science. They are useful for the selection of radiopure materials used in the design…
A flexible test facility for liquid xenon detector development
Evan Angelico, Jacopo Dalmasson, Ralph DeVoe +6
As liquid xenon time projection chambers scale to ever-larger sizes, so too do the engineering challenges they pose. We describe a large, flexible, multipurpose test facility capab…
Measurement of the Ionization Yield of Neutron-Induced Proton Recoils in Tetramethylsilane
Shuoxing Wu, Brian Lenardo, Giorgio Gratta
We report on a low energy measurement of the ionization yield in a Tetramethylsilane Time Projection Chamber (TPC) using 2.8 MeV neutrons from a deuterium-deuterium neutron generat…
A Tetramethylsilane TPC with Cherenkov light readout and 3D reconstruction
Shuoxing Wu, Brian Lenardo, Manuel Weber +1
We describe the construction and calibration of a multi-channel liquid time projection chamber filled with Tetramethylsilane (TMS). Its charge readout system consists of 8 wires ea…
