The EXO-200 detector, part II: Auxiliary Systems
N. Ackerman, J. Albert, M. Auger +157
The EXO-200 experiment searched for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe with a single-phase liquid xenon detector. It used an active mass of 110 kg of 80.6%-enriched liqui…
Trace radioactive impurities in final construction materials for EXO-200
D. S. Leonard, D. Auty, T. Didberidze +98
We report results from a systematic measurement campaign conducted to identify low radioactivity materials for the construction of the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment. Partial…
Investigation of radioactivity-induced backgrounds in EXO-200
J. B. Albert, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +83
The search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) requires extremely low background and a good understanding of their sources and their influence on the rate in the region of pa…
An apparatus to manipulate and identify individual Ba ions from bulk liquid Xe
K. Twelker, S. Kravitz, M. Montero Díez +77
We describe a system to transport and identify barium ions produced in liquid xenon, as part of R&D towards the second phase of a double beta decay experiment, nEXO. The goal is to…
The EXO-200 detector, part I: Detector design and construction
M. Auger, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +78
EXO-200 is an experiment designed to search for double beta decay of Xe with a single-phase, liquid xenon detector. It uses an active mass of 110 kg of xenon enriched to 80…
Xenon purity analysis for EXO-200 via mass spectrometry
A. Dobi, C. Hall, S. Slutsky +73
We describe purity measurements of the natural and enriched xenon stockpiles used by the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment based on a mass spectrometry technique. The sensitivit…
A xenon gas purity monitor for EXO
EXO Collaboration, A. Dobi, C. Hall +57
We discuss the design, operation, and calibration of two versions of a xenon gas purity monitor (GPM) developed for the EXO double beta decay program. The devices are sensitive to…
A magnetically-driven piston pump for ultra-clean applications
F. LePort, R. Neilson, P. S. Barbeau +77
A magnetically driven piston pump for xenon gas recirculation is presented. The pump is designed to satisfy extreme purity and containment requirements, as is appropriate for the r…
Characterization of large area APDs for the EXO-200 detector
R. Neilson, F. LePort, A. Pocar +49
EXO-200 uses 468 large area avalanche photodiodes (LAAPDs) for detection of scintillation light in an ultra-low-background liquid xenon (LXe) detector. We describe initial measurem…
