Demonstrating topological identification capabilities of the NEXT experiment at low pressure
J. Waiton, H. Almazán, B. Palmeiro +109
The NEXT-100 detector is a high-pressure xenon time projection chamber utilising electroluminescence amplification for sub-1% FWHM energy resolution and topological discrimination,…
Detection of scintillation light in noble gases with wavelength-shifting optical fibers
S. R. Soleti, S. Torelli, G. Martínez-Lema +110
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) techniques enable particle detectors based on noble gases, whose scintillation light is predominantly emitted in the vacuum-ultraviolet. We investigate WL…
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…
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…
