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…
First results of the NEXT-100 detector using Kr decays
NEXT Collaboration, G. MartÃnez-Lema, C. Hervés Carrete +113
The NEXT collaboration is investigating the double beta decay of Xe using high-pressure gas electroluminescent time projection chambers, which provide excellent energy reso…
Reconstructing neutrinoless double beta decay event kinematics in a xenon gas detector with vertex tagging
NEXT Collaboration, M. MartÃnez-Vara, K. Mistry +108
If neutrinoless double beta decay is discovered, the next natural step would be understanding the lepton number violating physics responsible for it. Several alternatives exist bey…
Measurement of Energy Resolution with the NEXT-White Silicon Photomultipliers
T. Contreras, B. Palmeiro, H. Almazán +107
The NEXT-White detector, a high-pressure gaseous xenon time projection chamber, demonstrated the excellence of this technology for future neutrinoless double beta decay searches us…
