Boosting background suppression in the NEXT experiment through Richardson-Lucy deconvolution
A. Simón, Y. Ifergan, A. B. Redwine +100
Next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments aim for half-life sensitivities of ~ yr, requiring suppressing backgrounds to <1 count/tonne/yr. For this, any e…
Conceptual Design of BabyIAXO, the intermediate stage towards the International Axion Observatory
A. Abeln, K. Altenmüller, S. Arguedas Cuendis +123
This article describes BabyIAXO, an intermediate experimental stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO), proposed to be sited at DESY. IAXO is a large-scale axion heliosc…
Dependence of polytetrafluoroethylene reflectance on thickness at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths in air
S. Ghosh, J. Haefner, J. Martín-Albo +88
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. However, the reflectance of PTFE is a fun…
Radio Frequency and DC High Voltage Breakdown of High Pressure Helium, Argon, and Xenon
K. Woodruff, J. Baeza-Rubio, D. Huerta +91
Motivated by the possibility of guiding daughter ions from double beta decay events to single-ion sensors for barium tagging, the NEXT collaboration is developing a program of R&D…
Radiogenic backgrounds in the NEXT double beta decay experiment
NEXT Collaboration, P. Novella, B. Palmeiro +88
Natural radioactivity represents one of the main backgrounds in the search for neutrinoless double beta decay. Within the NEXT physics program, the radioactivity-induced background…
Demonstration of the event identification capabilities of the NEXT-White detector
NEXT Collaboration, P. Ferrario, J. M. Benlloch-Rodríguez +88
In experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay, the possibility of identifying the two emitted electrons is a powerful tool in rejecting background events and therefor…
