Development of silicon interposer: towards an ultralow radioactivity background photodetector system
Haibo Yang, Qidong Wang, Guofu Cao +6
It is of great importance to develop a photodetector system with an ultralow radioactivity background in rare event searches. Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) and application-speci…
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…
Copper electroplating for background suppression in the NEWS-G experiment
G Collaboration, L. Balogh, C. Beaufort +47
New Experiments with Spheres-Gas (NEWS-G) is a dark matter direct detection experiment that will operate at SNOLAB (Canada). Similar to other rare-event searches, the materials use…
Mass spectrometric analyses of high performance polymers to assess radiopurity as ultra low background materials for rare event physics detectors
Jay W. Grate, Isaac J. Arnquist, Eric W. Hoppe +4
The mass concentrations of Th-232 and U-238 in several strong, unfilled, high performance polymers are reported as measures of their radiopurity. Highly radiopure polymers are requ…
Ultra-low radioactivity Kapton and copper-Kapton laminates
Isaac J. Arnquist, Chelsie Beck, Maria Laura di Vacri +2
Polyimide-based materials, like Kapton, are widely used in flexible cables and circuitry due to their unique electrical and mechanical characteristics. This study is aimed at inves…
