Application and modeling of an online distillation method to reduce krypton and argon in XENON1T
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +151
A novel online distillation technique was developed for the XENON1T dark matter experiment to reduce intrinsic background components more volatile than xenon, such as krypton or ar…
Material radiopurity control in the XENONnT experiment
E. Aprile, K. Abe, F. Agostini +150
The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of the utmost importance for rare-event searches and thus critical to the XENONnT experiment. Results of an extensive rad…
Online Rn removal by cryogenic distillation in the XENON100 experiment
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +119
We describe the purification of xenon from traces of the radioactive noble gas radon using a cryogenic distillation column. The distillation column is integrated into the gas purif…
Removing krypton from xenon by cryogenic distillation to the ppq level
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +119
The XENON1T experiment aims for the direct detection of dark matter in a cryostat filled with 3.3 tons of liquid xenon. In order to achieve the desired sensitivity, the background…
Results from a Calibration of XENON100 Using a Source of Dissolved Radon-220
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +118
A Rn-220 source is deployed on the XENON100 dark matter detector in order to address the challenges in calibration of tonne-scale liquid noble element detectors. We show that the P…
Physics reach of the XENON1T dark matter experiment
The XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +113
The XENON1T experiment is currently in the commissioning phase at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. In this article we study the experiment's expected sensitivity to…
JUNO Conceptual Design Report
T. Adam, F. An, G. An +347
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is proposed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy using an underground liquid scintillator detector. It is located 53 km awa…
Development of the Liquid Level Meters for the PandaX Dark Matter Detector
J. Hu, H. Gong, Q. Lin +6
The two-phase xenon detector is at the frontier of dark matter direct search. This kind of detector uses liquid xenon as the sensitive target and is operated in two-phase (liquid/g…
