Barium Tagging with Selective, Dry-Functional, Single Molecule Sensitive On-Off Fluorophores for the NEXT Experiment
N. K. Byrnes, A. A. Denisenko, F. W. Foss +5
In the search for neutrinoless double beta decay, understanding and reducing backgrounds is crucial for success. An advance that could drive backgrounds to negligible levels would…
Barium Chemosensors with Dry-Phase Fluorescence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
P. Thapa, I. Arnquist, N. Byrnes +6
The nature of the neutrino is one of the major open questions in experimental nuclear and particle physics. The most sensitive known method to establish the Majorana nature of the…
Progress toward Barium Tagging in High Pressure Xenon Gas with Single Molecule Fluorescence Imaging
N. Byrnes, F. W. Foss, B. J. P Jones +4
We present an update on the development of techniques to adapt Single Molecule Fluorescent Imaging for the tagging of individual barium ions in high pressure xenon gas detectors, w…
Secondary scintillation yield of Xenon with sub-percent levels of CO2 additive: efficiently reducing electron diffusion in HPXe optical TPCs for rare-event detection
C. A. O. Henriques, E. D. C. Freitas, C. D. R. Azevedo +67
We have measured the electroluminescence (EL) yield of Xe-CO2 mixtures, with sub-percent CO2 concentrations. We demonstrate that the EL production is still high in these mixtures,…
