Demonstration of Sub-Percent Energy Resolution in the NEXT-100 Detector
NEXT Collaboration, M. Pérez Maneiro, M. Martínez-Vara +111
NEXT-100 is a high-pressure xenon time projection chamber with electroluminescent amplification, designed to operate with up to approximately 70.5 kg at 13.5 bar. It is the most re…
The Surface Orientation Ambiguity for Single Molecules at Dielectric Interfaces
E. Dey, M. Elorza, F. W. Foss +2
Fluorescent molecules emit light in a dipole radiation pattern that can be used to infer their orientation through defocused fluorescence microscopy. Proper measurement of the orie…
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…
Reconstructing neutrinoless double beta decay event kinematics in a xenon gas detector with vertex tagging
NEXT Collaboration, M. Martínez-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…
New Generation Compact Linear Accelerator for Low-Current, Low-Energy Multiple Applications
Jorge Feuchtwanger, Victor Etxebarria, Joaquin Portilla +12
A new compact linear proton accelerator project (named LINAC 7) for multiple low-current applications, designed and built in-house at the Beam Laboratory of the University of the B…
Ion Transport on Phased Radiofrequency Carpets in Xenon Gas
E. Dey, B. J. P. Jones, Y. Mei +7
We present the design and performance of a four-phased radiofrequency (RF) carpet system for ion transport in high-pressure xenon gas. The RF carpet, designed with a 160 m pitch…
