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…

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…

Radio Frequency and DC High Voltage Breakdown of High Pressure Helium, Argon, and Xenon

K. Woodruff, J. Baeza-Rubio, D. Huerta +91

Motivated by the possibility of guiding daughter ions from double beta decay events to single-ion sensors for barium tagging, the NEXT collaboration is developing a program of R&D…

Low-diffusion Xe-He gas mixtures for rare-event detection: Electroluminescence Yield

A. F. M. Fernandes, C. A. O. Henriques, R. D. P. Mano +88

High pressure xenon Time Projection Chambers (TPC) based on secondary scintillation (electroluminescence) signal amplification are being proposed for rare event detection such as d…
