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,…
Detection of scintillation light in noble gases with wavelength-shifting optical fibers
S. R. Soleti, S. Torelli, G. Martínez-Lema +110
Wavelength-shifting (WLS) techniques enable particle detectors based on noble gases, whose scintillation light is predominantly emitted in the vacuum-ultraviolet. We investigate WL…
Electroluminescence Yield Measurements in Xenon Gas with the NEXT-DEMO++ Detector
NEXT Collaboration, J. Renner, J. D. Villamil +111
The NEXT-DEMO++ detector, a high-pressure xenon gas time projection chamber serving as a prototype for the NEXT-100 experiment, was used to measure the electroluminescence (EL) yie…
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…
