The EXO-200 detector, part II: Auxiliary Systems
N. Ackerman, J. Albert, M. Auger +157
The EXO-200 experiment searched for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe with a single-phase liquid xenon detector. It used an active mass of 110 kg of 80.6%-enriched liqui…
A light readout system for gas TPCs
G. Giroux, M. Auger, D. Franco +6
A novel light detection scheme has been tested for use in medium-pressure gas TPCs, in view of rare events searches in low energy particle physics. It has the advantage of minimal…
Development of a camera casing suited for cryogenic and vacuum applications
S. C. Delaquis, R. Gornea, S. Janos +4
We report on the design, construction, and operation of a PID temperature controlled and vacuum tight camera casing. The camera casing contains a commercial digital camera and a li…
The EXO-200 detector, part I: Detector design and construction
M. Auger, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +78
EXO-200 is an experiment designed to search for double beta decay of Xe with a single-phase, liquid xenon detector. It uses an active mass of 110 kg of xenon enriched to 80…
Xenon purity analysis for EXO-200 via mass spectrometry
A. Dobi, C. Hall, S. Slutsky +73
We describe purity measurements of the natural and enriched xenon stockpiles used by the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment based on a mass spectrometry technique. The sensitivit…
A magnetically-driven piston pump for ultra-clean applications
F. LePort, R. Neilson, P. S. Barbeau +77
A magnetically driven piston pump for xenon gas recirculation is presented. The pump is designed to satisfy extreme purity and containment requirements, as is appropriate for the r…
Systematic study of trace radioactive impurities in candidate construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, P. Grinberg, P. Weber +54
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) will search for double beta decays of 136Xe. We report the results of a systematic study of trace concentrations of radioactive impurities in a…
A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all-fluoropolymer vessel
EXO Collaboration, F. LePort, A. Pocar +42
A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of ultra-clean fluoropolymer. We describe the advantages in terms of low ra…
