Preparation of Neutron-activated Xenon for Liquid Xenon Detector Calibration
K. Ni, R. Hasty, T. M. Wongjirad +3
We report the preparation of neutron-activated xenon for the calibration of liquid xenon (LXe) detectors. Gamma rays from the decay of xenon metastable states, produced by fast neu…
Detection and Imaging of He_2 Molecules in Superfluid Helium
W. G. Rellergert, S. B. Cahn, A. Garvan +4
We present data that show a cycling transition can be used to detect and image metastable He triplet molecules in superfluid helium. We demonstrate that limitations on the cycl…
Toward Application of a Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) Readout for a Dark Matter Detector
M. Gai, D. N. McKinsey, K. Ni +6
The Yale-Weizmann collaboration aims to develop a low-radioactivity (low-background) cryogenic noble liquid detector for Dark-Matter (DM) search in measurements to be performed dee…
Demonstration of photomultiplier tube operation at 29 K
James A. Nikkel, W. Hugh Lippincott, Daniel N. McKinsey
We describe measurements of gain, dark current, and quantum efficiency obtained while cooling a Hamamatsu R5912-02-MOD photomultiplier tube from room temperature to 29 K. We found…
Scintillation of liquid neon from electronic and nuclear recoils
J. A. Nikkel, R. Hasty, W. H. Lippincott +1
We have measured the time dependence of scintillation light from electronic and nuclear recoils in liquid neon, finding a slow time constant of 15.4+-0.2 us. Pulse shape discrimina…
