Ionization and scintillation response of high-pressure xenon gas to alpha particles
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +70
High-pressure xenon gas is an attractive detection medium for a variety of applications in fundamental and applied physics. In this paper we study the ionization and scintillation…
Results and perspectives of the solar axion search with the CAST experiment
E. Ferrer-Ribas, M. Arik, S. Aune +69
The status of the solar axion search with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) will be presented. Recent results obtained by the use of He as a buffer gas has allowed us to ex…
CAST microbulk micromegas in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
A. Tomás, S. Aune, T. Dafni +19
During the last taking data campaigns of the CAST experiment, the micromegas detectors have achieved background levels of keVcms betw…
Design and characterization of the SiPM tracking system of NEXT-DEMO, a demonstrator prototype of the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, M. Ball +86
NEXT-100 experiment aims at searching the neutrinoless double-beta decay of the Xe-136 isotope using a TPC filled with a 100 kg of high-pressure gaseous xenon, with 90% isotopic en…
SiPMs coated with TPB : coating protocol and characterization for NEXT
V. Álvarez, J. Agramunt, M. Ball +91
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are the photon detectors chosen for the tracking readout in NEXT, a neutrinoless ββ decay experiment which uses a high pressure gaseous xenon time p…
