Development of very-thick transparent GEMs with wavelength-shifting capability for noble element TPCs

M. Kuźniak, D. González-Díaz, P. Amedo +15

A new concept for the simultaneous detection of primary and secondary scintillation in time projection chambers is proposed. Its core element is a type of very-thick GEM structure…

Boosting background suppression in the NEXT experiment through Richardson-Lucy deconvolution

A. Simón, Y. Ifergan, A. B. Redwine +100

Next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments aim for half-life sensitivities of ~ yr, requiring suppressing backgrounds to <1 count/tonne/yr. For this, any e…

Spectroscopic analysis of the argon scintillation with a wavelength sensitive particle detector

R. Santorelli, E. Sanchez Garcia, P. Garcia Abia +5

We performed a time-resolved spectroscopic study of the VUV/UV argon scintillation as a function of pressure and electric field, by means of a wavelength sensitive detector operate…

Dependence of polytetrafluoroethylene reflectance on thickness at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths in air

S. Ghosh, J. Haefner, J. Martín-Albo +88

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. However, the reflectance of PTFE is a fun…

A new imaging technology based on Compton X-ray scattering

Ángela Saá Hernández, Diego González-Díaz, Pablo Villanueva +2

We describe a feasible implementation of a novel X-ray detector for highly energetic x-ray photons with a large solid angle coverage, optimal for the detection of Compton x-ray sca…
