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…
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…
