Double-GEM based thermal neutron detector prototype
L. A. Serra Filho, R. Felix dos Santos, G. G. A. de Souza +11
The Helium-3 shortage and the growing interest in neutron science constitute a driving factor in developing new neutron detection technologies. In this work, we report the developm…
Development of a fast simulator for GEM-based neutron detectors
R. Felix dos Santos, M. G. Munhoz, M. Moralles +3
Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)-based detectors using a layer of 10B as a neutron converter is becoming popular for thermal neutron detection. A common strategy to simulate this kind…
Microscopic simulation of xenon-based optical TPCs in the presence of molecular additives
C. D. R. Azevedo, D. Gonzalez-Diaz, S. F. Biagi +67
We introduce a simulation framework for the transport of high and low energy electrons in xenon-based gaseous optical time projection chambers (OTPCs). The simulation relies on ele…
Background rejection in NEXT using deep neural networks
NEXT Collaboration, J. Renner, A. Farbin +64
We investigate the potential of using deep learning techniques to reject background events in searches for neutrinoless double beta decay with high pressure xenon time projection c…
Sensitivity of NEXT-100 to neutrinoless double beta decay
NEXT Collaboration, J. Martín-Albo, J. Muñoz Vidal +60
NEXT-100 is an electroluminescent high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta () decay of Xe-136. The detector possesse…
First proof of topological signature in the high pressure xenon gas TPC with electroluminescence amplification for the NEXT experiment
NEXT Collaboration, P. Ferrario, A. Laing +67
The NEXT experiment aims to observe the neutrinoless double beta decay of xenon in a high-pressure Xe136 gas TPC using electroluminescence (EL) to amplify the signal from ionizatio…
