Search for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay in Xe with EXO-200

M. Auger, D. J. Auty, P. S. Barbeau +75

We report on a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of Xe with EXO-200. No signal is observed for an exposure of 32.5 kg-yr, with a background of ~1.5 x 10^{-3} /(kg y…

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…

Observation of Two-Neutrino Double-Beta Decay in Xe-136 with EXO-200

N. Ackerman, B. Aharmim, M. Auger +100

We report the observation of two-neutrino double-beta decay in Xe-136 with T_1/2 = 2.11 +- 0.04 (stat.) +- 0.21 (sys.) x 10^21 yr. This second order process, predicted by the Stand…

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…
