The nEXO Radioassay Program
R. MacLellan, P. Acharya, B. Aharmim +148
Material radioactivity compilations, such as the one presented here, are important enablers of science. They are useful for the selection of radiopure materials used in the design…
Cyclotron Radiation Signal Characterization in Resonant Cavities for the Project 8 Neutrino Mass Experiment
A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, H. P. Binney +60
Many experimental methods in physics require understanding radiation from single particles into non-trivial electromagnetic mode structures. Such characterization is critical for C…
Characterization of CRYO ASIC for charge readout in the nEXO experiment
Z. Li, M. Yu, E. Angelico +141
nEXO is a proposed next-generation experiment searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe using a tonne-scale liquid xenon (LXe) time projection chamber (TPC). T…
Scintillation of liquid nitrogen
L. Pagani, R. Saldanha, B. M. Loer +3
Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in cryogenic applications and is a promising medium for the direct immersion cooling of sensors used for nuclear and particle physics experiments.…
Dynamics of Magnetic Evaporative Beamline Cooling for Preparation of Cold Atomic Beams
A. Ashtari Esfahani, S. Bhagvati, S. Böser +55
The most sensitive direct neutrino mass searches today are based on measurement of the endpoint of the beta spectrum of tritium to infer limits on the mass of the unobserved neutri…
Ultra-sensitive radon assay using an electrostatic chamber in a recirculating system
nEXO Collaboration, A. Anker, P. A. Breur +138
Rare event searches such as neutrinoless double beta decay and Weakly Interacting Massive Particle detection require ultra-low background detectors. Radon contamination is a signif…
