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,…
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…
First results of the NEXT-100 detector using Kr decays
NEXT Collaboration, G. Martínez-Lema, C. Hervés Carrete +113
The NEXT collaboration is investigating the double beta decay of Xe using high-pressure gas electroluminescent time projection chambers, which provide excellent energy reso…
Reconstructing neutrinoless double beta decay event kinematics in a xenon gas detector with vertex tagging
NEXT Collaboration, M. Martínez-Vara, K. Mistry +108
If neutrinoless double beta decay is discovered, the next natural step would be understanding the lepton number violating physics responsible for it. Several alternatives exist bey…
Measurement of Energy Resolution with the NEXT-White Silicon Photomultipliers
T. Contreras, B. Palmeiro, H. Almazán +107
The NEXT-White detector, a high-pressure gaseous xenon time projection chamber, demonstrated the excellence of this technology for future neutrinoless double beta decay searches us…
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…
Ba ion trapping by organic submonolayer: towards an ultra-low background neutrinoless double beta decay detector
P. Herrero-Gómez, J. P. Calupitan, M. Ilyn +112
If neutrinos are their own antiparticles, the otherwise-forbidden nuclear reaction known as neutrinoless double beta decay () can occur, with a characteristic lifetime which…
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,…
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay
J. J. Gomez-Cadenas, J. Martin-Albo, M. Mezzetto +2
In the last two decades the search for neutrinoless double beta decay has evolved into one of the highest priorities for understanding neutrinos and the origin of mass. The main re…
Sense and sensitivity of double beta decay experiments
J. J. Gomez-Cadenas, J. Martin-Albo, M. Sorel +5
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay is a very active field in which the number of proposals for next-generation experiments has proliferated. In this paper we attempt to…
Probing New Physics Models of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay with SuperNEMO
R. Arnold, C. Augier, J. Baker +79
The possibility to probe new physics scenarios of light Majorana neutrino exchange and right-handed currents at the planned next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experimen…
NEXT, a HPGXe TPC for neutrinoless double beta decay searches
The NEXT Collaboration, F. Granena, T. Lux +61
We propose a novel detection concept for neutrinoless double-beta decay searches. This concept is based on a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) filled with high-pressure gaseous xenon,…
