Gaseous time projection chambers for rare event detection: Results from the T-REX project. I. Double beta decay
I. G. Irastorza, F. Aznar, J. Castel +13
As part of the T-REX project, a number of R&D and prototyping activities have been carried out during the last years to explore the applicability of gaseous Micromegas-read TPCs in…
Gaseous time projection chambers for rare event detection: Results from the T-REX project. II. Dark matter
I. G. Irastorza, F. Aznar, J. Castel +13
As part of the T-REX project, a number of R&D and prototyping activities have been carried out during the last years to explore the applicability of Micromegas-read gaseous TPCs in…
TREX-DM: a low-background Micromegas-based TPC for low-mass WIMP detection
F. J. Iguaz, J. G. Garza, F. Aznar +8
If Dark Matter is made of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with masses below 20 GeV, the corresponding nuclear recoils in mainstream WIMP experiments are of energ…
A Micromegas-based low-background x-ray detector coupled to a slumped-glass telescope for axion research
F. Aznar, J. Castel, F. E. Christensen +18
We report on the design, construction and operation of a low background x-ray detection line composed of a shielded Micromegas (micromesh gaseous structure) detector of the microbu…
Comissioning of TREX-DM, a low background Micromegas-based Time Projection Chamber for low mass WIMP detection
F. J. Iguaz, J. G. Garza, F. Aznar +8
Dark Matter experiments are recently focusing their detection techniques in low-mass WIMPs, which requires the use of light elements and low energy threshold. In this context, we d…
Lessons from the operation of the "Penning-Fluorescent" TPC and prospects
Diego Gonzalez-Diaz, F. Aznar, J. Castel +15
We have recently reported the development of a new type of high-pressure Xenon time projection chamber operated with an ultra-low diffusion mixture and that simultaneously displays…

Low Background Micromegas in CAST
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, D. Calvet +22
Solar axions could be converted into x-rays inside the strong magnetic field of an axion helioscope, triggering the detection of this elusive particle. Low background x-ray detecto…
