Ultra-pure Nickel for Structural Components of Low-Radioactivity Instruments
T. J. Roosendaal, C. T. Overman, G. S. Ortega +123
The next generation of rare-event search experiments in nuclear and particle physics demand structural materials combining exceptional mechanical strength with ultra-low levels of…
Ultra-sensitive radon assay using an electrostatic chamber in a recirculating system
nEXO Collaboration, A. Anker, P. A. Breur +138
Rare event searches such as neutrinoless double beta decay and Weakly Interacting Massive Particle detection require ultra-low background detectors. Radon contamination is a signif…
Imaging of single barium atoms in a second matrix site in solid xenon for barium tagging in a Xe double beta decay experiment
M. Yvaine, D. Fairbank, J. Soderstrom +134
Neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the most sensitive probes for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. One of the isotopes under investigation is $^{136}…
Supernova electron-neutrino interactions with xenon in the nEXO detector
nEXO Collaboration, S. Hedges, S. Al Kharusi +144
Electron-neutrino charged-current interactions with xenon nuclei were modeled in the nEXO neutrinoless double- decay detector (~5 metric ton, 90% Xe, 10% Xe)…
