New gas mixtures suitable for rare event detection using a Micromegas-TPC detector
L. Ounalli, J-L. Vuilleumier, D. Schenker +1
The aim of the presented work was to develop further techniques based on a Micromegas-TPC, in order to reach a high gas gain with good energy resolution, and to search for gas mixt…
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 linear RFQ ion trap for the Enriched Xenon Observatory
B. Flatt, M. Green, J. Wodin +39
The design, construction, and performance of a linear radio-frequency ion trap (RFQ) intended for use in the Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) are described. EXO aims to detect the…
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…
Mobility of thorium ions in liquid xenon
K. Wamba, C. Hall, M. Breidenbach +27
We present a measurement of the Th ion mobility in LXe at 163.0 K and 0.9 bar. The result obtained, 0.2400.011 (stat) 0.011 (syst) cm/(kV-s), is compared wi…
