The EXO-200 detector, part II: Auxiliary Systems
N. Ackerman, J. Albert, M. Auger +157
The EXO-200 experiment searched for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe with a single-phase liquid xenon detector. It used an active mass of 110 kg of 80.6%-enriched liqui…
New Technologies for Discovery
Z. Ahmed, A. Apresyan, M. Artuso +80
For the field of high energy physics to continue to have a bright future, priority within the field must be given to investments in the development of both evolutionary and transfo…
An RF-only ion-funnel for extraction from high-pressure gases
Thomas Brunner, Daniel Fudenberg, Victor Varentsov +74
An RF ion-funnel technique has been developed to extract ions from a high-pressure (10 bar) noble-gas environment into vacuum ( mbar). Detailed simulations have been perfo…
Search for Majoron-emitting modes of double-beta decay of Xe with EXO-200
200 Collaboration, J. B. Albert, D. J. Auty +89
EXO-200 is a single phase liquid xenon detector designed to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe. Here we report on a search for various Majoron-emitting modes b…
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…
Search for Majorana neutrinos with the first two years of EXO-200 data
200 Collaboration, J. B. Albert, D. J. Auty +91
Many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics suggest that neutrinos should be Majorana-type fermions, but this assumption is difficult to confirm. Observation of neutr…
An improved measurement of the 2νββ half-life of Xe-136 with EXO-200
J. B. Albert, M. Auger, D. J. Auty +94
We report on an improved measurement of the 2νββ half-life of Xe-136 performed by EXO-200. The use of a large and homogeneous time projection chamber allows for the precise estimat…
Search for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay in Xe with EXO-200
M. Auger, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +75
We report on a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe with EXO-200. No signal is observed for an exposure of 32.5 kg-yr, with a background of ~1.5 x 10^{-3} /(kg y…
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…
Observation of Two-Neutrino Double-Beta Decay in Xe-136 with EXO-200
N. Ackerman, B. Aharmim, M. Auger +100
We report the observation of two-neutrino double-beta decay in Xe-136 with T_1/2 = 2.11 +- 0.04 (stat.) +- 0.21 (sys.) x 10^21 yr. This second order process, predicted by the Stand…
