Gaseous time projection chambers for rare event detection: Results from the T-REX project. I. Double beta decay
I. G. Irastorza, F. Aznar, J. Castel +13
As part of the T-REX project, a number of R&D and prototyping activities have been carried out during the last years to explore the applicability of gaseous Micromegas-read TPCs in…
Gaseous time projection chambers for rare event detection: Results from the T-REX project. II. Dark matter
I. G. Irastorza, F. Aznar, J. Castel +13
As part of the T-REX project, a number of R&D and prototyping activities have been carried out during the last years to explore the applicability of Micromegas-read gaseous TPCs in…
Exploring 0.1-10eV axions with a new helioscope concept
J. Galán, T. Dafni, E. Ferrer-Ribas +9
We explore the possibility to develop a new axion helioscope type, sensitive to the higher axion mass region favored by axion models. We propose to use a low background large volum…
Radon and material radiopurity assessment for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
S. Cebrián, J. Pérez, I. Bandac +67
The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT), intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay using a high-pressure xenon gas TPC filled with Xe enriched in 136Xe at…
Search for chameleons with CAST
V. Anastassopoulos, M. Arik, S. Aune +61
In this work we present a search for (solar) chameleons with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). This novel experimental technique, in the field of dark energy research, exploit…
New solar axion search in CAST with He filling
M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +60
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) searches for conversion in the 9 T magnetic field of a refurbished LHC test magnet that can be directed toward the Sun. Two parallel m…
