Detection of scintillation light in noble gases with wavelength-shifting optical fibers
S. R. Soleti, S. Torelli, G. MartÃnez-Lema +110
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) techniques enable particle detectors based on noble gases, whose scintillation light is predominantly emitted in the vacuum-ultraviolet. We investigate WL…
Radon-induced backgrounds in the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, C. Cortes-Parra, P. Novella +111
The NEXT-100 detector at the LSC aims at the first competitive search for the \bbnonu decay using a high-pressure \Xe{136} electroluminescent time projection chamber. The first low…
Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex
J. I. Collar, Ivan Esteban, J. J. Gomez-Cadenas +8
The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) currently delivers a 1 MW, 3 GeV proton beam to the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). Power is expected…
Electroluminescence Yield Measurements in Xenon Gas with the NEXT-DEMO++ Detector
NEXT Collaboration, J. Renner, J. D. Villamil +111
The NEXT-DEMO++ detector, a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber serving as a prototype for the NEXT-100 experiment, was used to measure the electroluminescence (EL) yie…
Measurement of the scintillation resolution in liquid xenon and its impact for future segmented calorimeters
C. Romo-Luque, N. Salor-Iguiñiz, J. M. Benlloch-RodrÃguez +16
We report on a new measurement of the energy resolution that can be attained in liquid xenon when recording only the scintillation light. Our setup is optimized to maximize light c…
A journey to ITACA: Ion Tracking with Ammonium Cations Apparatus
J. J. Gómez-Cadenas, L. Arazi, M. Elorza +6
A unique feature of gas xenon electroluminescent time projection chambers (GXeEL TPCs) in searches is their ability to reconstruct event topology, in particular to distin…
