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…
Modeling the light response of an optically readout GEM based TPC for the CYGNO experiment
Fernando Dominques Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +56
The use of gaseous Time Projection Chambers enables the detection and the detailed study of rare events due to particles interactions with the atoms of the gas with energy releases…
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…
Bayesian network 3D event reconstruction in the Cygno optical TPC for dark matter direct detection
Fernando Domingues Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +50
The CYGNO experiment is developing a high-resolution gaseous Time Projection Chamber with optical readout for directional dark matter searches. The detector uses a helium-tetrafluo…
Performance of an Optical TPC Geant4 Simulation with Opticks GPU-Accelerated Photon Propagation
NEXT Collaboration, I. Parmaksiz, K. Mistry +113
We investigate the performance of Opticks, a NVIDIA OptiX API 7.5 GPU-accelerated photon propagation tool compared with a single-threaded Geant4 simulation. We compare the simulati…
