Development of a Hermetic Gaseous Xenon Detector for Suppressing External Radon Background

Ryuta Miyata, Koki Fujikawa, Rina Harata +3

Radon-induced backgrounds, particularly from Rn and its beta-emitting progeny, present a critical challenge for next-generation liquid xenon (LXe) detectors aimed at probin…

Spectral Measurement of the Bi beta-decay to the Po Ground State with XENONnT

E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +170

We report the measurement of the Bi beta-decay spectrum to the ground state of Po using the XENONnT detector. This decay is classified as first-forbidden non-unique…

Measurement of the Quantum Efficiency of Electrode Materials for VUV Photons in Liquid Xenon

Shingo Kazama, Naoki Aoyama, Yoshitaka Itow +1

Light dark matter searches using ionization signals in dual-phase liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chambers (TPCs) are limited by low-energy ionization backgrounds, including tho…

Characterization of New Silicon Photomultipliers with Low Dark Noise at Low Temperature

K. Ozaki, S. Kazama, M. Yamashita +2

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have a low radioactivity, compact geometry, low operation voltage, and reasonable photo-detection efficiency for vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV). Th…

Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment

XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +115

In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon (Rn), thoron (Rn) and krypton (Kr). We det…
