Radon-induced backgrounds in the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, C. Cortes-Parra, P. Novella +111
The NEXT-100 detector at the LSC aims at the first competitive search for the \bbnonu decay using a high-pressure \Xe{136} electroluminescent time projection chamber. The first low…
Measurement of the X-ARAPUCA's Absolute Photon Detection Efficiency for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment's Vertical Drift Far Detector
G. Botogoske, F. Bruni, E. Calvo +41
The DUNE experiment will implement a photon detection system composed of X-ARAPUCA (XA) devices. These trap incoming VUV photons by internal reflection in a wavelength shifter ligh…
Electroluminescence Yield Measurements in Xenon Gas with the NEXT-DEMO++ Detector
NEXT Collaboration, J. Renner, J. D. Villamil +111
The NEXT-DEMO++ detector, a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber serving as a prototype for the NEXT-100 experiment, was used to measure the electroluminescence (EL) yie…
Demonstration of Sub-Percent Energy Resolution in the NEXT-100 Detector
NEXT Collaboration, M. Pérez Maneiro, M. MartÃnez-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…
First results of the NEXT-100 detector using Kr decays
NEXT Collaboration, G. MartÃnez-Lema, C. Hervés Carrete +113
The NEXT collaboration is investigating the double beta decay of Xe using high-pressure gas electroluminescent time projection chambers, which provide excellent energy reso…
