Demonstration of Event Position Reconstruction based on Diffusion in the NEXT-White Detector

J. Haefner, K. E. Navarro, R. Guenette +108

Noble element time projection chambers are a leading technology for rare event detection in physics, such as for dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay searches. Time proje…

Neutral Bremsstrahlung emission in xenon unveiled

C. A. O. Henriques, P. Amedo, J. M. R. Teixeira +90

We present evidence of non-excimer-based secondary scintillation in gaseous xenon, obtained using both the NEXT-White TPC and a dedicated setup. Detailed comparison with first-prin…

The Dynamics of Ions on Phased Radio-frequency Carpets in High Pressure Gases and Application for Barium Tagging in Xenon Gas Time Projection Chambers

NEXT Collaboration, B. J. P. Jones, A. Raymond +107

Radio-frequency (RF) carpets with ultra-fine pitches are examined for ion transport in gases at atmospheric pressures and above. We develop new analytic and computational methods f…

Sensitivity of the NEXT experiment to Xe-124 double electron capture

G. Martínez-Lema, M. Martínez-Vara, M. Sorel +88

Double electron capture by proton-rich nuclei is a second-order nuclear process analogous to double beta decay. Despite their similarities, the decay signature is quite different,…

Mitigation of Backgrounds from Cosmogenic Xe in Xenon Gas Experiments using He Neutron Capture

L. Rogers, B. J. P. Jones, A. Laing +89

\Xe{136} is used as the target medium for many experiments searching for \bbnonu. Despite underground operation, cosmic muons that reach the laboratory can produce spallation neutr…
