Low-Energy Radon Backgrounds from Electrode Grids in Dual-Phase Xenon TPCs

D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, F. Alder +264

The dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) is a powerful technology to detect rare interactions such as scatters of dark matter particles on nuclei. In particular, the buil…
