Demonstration of Single Barium Ion Sensitivity for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay using Single Molecule Fluorescence Imaging
A. D. McDonald, B. J. P. Jones, D. R. Nygren +71
A new method to tag the barium daughter in the double beta decay of Xe is reported. Using the technique of single molecule fluorescent imaging (SMFI), individual barium dic…
Measurement of the Effective Weak Mixing Angle in Events
D0 Collaboration
We present a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle parameter , in events at a center of mass ener…
Helium-Xenon mixtures to improve topological signature in high pressure gas Xenon TPCs
R. Felkai, F. Monrabal, D. Gonzalez-Díaz +72
Within the framework of xenon-based double beta decay experiments, we propose the possibility to improve the background rejection of an electroluminescent Time Projection Chamber (…
Combined Forward-Backward Asymmetry Measurements in Top-Antitop Quark Production at the Tevatron
CDF collaboration, D0 collaboration
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron have measured the asymmetry between yields of forward- and backward-produced top and antitop quarks based on their rapidity diff…
The Single-Phase ProtoDUNE Technical Design Report
B. Abi, R. Acciarri, M. A. Acero +824
ProtoDUNE-SP is the single-phase DUNE Far Detector prototype that is under construction and will be operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform (NP) starting in 2018. ProtoDUNE-SP, a cr…
Microscopic simulation of xenon-based optical TPCs in the presence of molecular additives
C. D. R. Azevedo, D. Gonzalez-Diaz, S. F. Biagi +67
We introduce a simulation framework for the transport of high and low energy electrons in xenon-based gaseous optical time projection chambers (OTPCs). The simulation relies on ele…
Radiopurity assessment of the energy readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +67
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber (NEXT) experiment intends to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, and therefore requires a severe s…
Application and performance of an ML-EM algorithm in NEXT
NEXT Collaboration, A. Simón, C. Lerche +67
The goal of the NEXT experiment is the observation of neutrinoless double beta decay in Xe using a gaseous xenon TPC with electroluminescent amplification and specialized p…
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,…
Measurement of antiproton annihilation on Cu, Ag and Au with emulsion films
S. Aghion, C. Amsler, A. Ariga +69
The characteristics of low energy antiproton annihilations on nuclei (e.g. hadronization and product multiplicities) are not well known, and Monte Carlo simulation packages that us…
