Evaluation of Coincidence Time Resolution in a liquid xenon detector with silicon photomultipliers
N. Salor-Iguiñiz, J. M. Benlloch-Rodríguez, R. Esteve +16
This work explores the combination of liquid xenon as a scintillating medium and silicon photomultipliers as a readout in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for enhanced Time-Of-Fl…
An improved measurement of electron-ion recombination in high-pressure xenon gas
NEXT Collaboration, L. Serra, M. Sorel +64
We report on results obtained with the NEXT-DEMO prototype of the NEXT-100 high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber (TPC), exposed to an alpha decay calibration source. Comp…
Ionization and scintillation of nuclear recoils in gaseous xenon
J. Renner, V. M. Gehman, A. Goldschmidt +75
Ionization and scintillation produced by nuclear recoils in gaseous xenon at approximately 14 bar have been simultaneously observed in an electroluminescent time projection chamber…
Description and commissioning of NEXT-MM prototype: first results from operation in a Xenon-Trimethylamine gas mixture
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. Aznar +82
A technical description of NEXT-MM and its commissioning and first performance is reported. Having an active volume of ~35 cm drift 28 cm diameter, it constitutes the larg…
Characterization of a medium size Xe/TMA TPC instrumented with microbulk Micromegas, using low-energy -rays
The NEXT collaboration, V. Alvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +87
NEXT-MM is a general-purpose high pressure (10 bar, l active volume) Xenon-based TPC, read out in charge mode with an 8 cm 8 cm-segmented 700 cm plane (1152 ch…
Operation and first results of the NEXT-DEMO prototype using a silicon photomultiplier tracking array
The NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. I. G. Borges +75
NEXT-DEMO is a high-pressure xenon gas TPC which acts as a technological test-bed and demonstrator for the NEXT-100 neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. In its current config…
Ionization and scintillation response of high-pressure xenon gas to alpha particles
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +70
High-pressure xenon gas is an attractive detection medium for a variety of applications in fundamental and applied physics. In this paper we study the ionization and scintillation…
SiPMs coated with TPB : coating protocol and characterization for NEXT
V. Álvarez, J. Agramunt, M. Ball +91
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are the photon detectors chosen for the tracking readout in NEXT, a neutrinoless ββ decay experiment which uses a high pressure gaseous xenon time p…
