Simulation of gain stability of THGEM gas-avalanche particle detectors
P. M. M. Correia, M. Pitt, C. D. R. Azevedo +6
Charging-up processes affecting gain stability in Thick Gas Electron Multipliers (THGEM) were studied with a dedicated simulation toolkit. Integrated with Garfield++, it provides a…
Ionization and scintillation of nuclear recoils in gaseous xenon
J. Renner, V. M. Gehman, A. Goldschmidt +75
Ionization and scintillation produced by nuclear recoils in gaseous xenon at approximately 14 bar have been simultaneously observed in an electroluminescent time projection chamber…
A dynamic method for charging-up calculations: the case of GEM
P. M. M. Correia, C. A. B. Oliveira, C. D. R. Azevedo +4
The simulation of Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) signal response is an important and powerful tool for the design and optimization of such detectors. However, several atte…
Initial results of NEXT-DEMO, a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 experiment
NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +75
NEXT-DEMO is a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 detector, an electroluminescent time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136 using…
Simulation of VUV electroluminescence in micropattern gaseous detectors: the case of GEM and MHSP
C. A. B. Oliveira, P. M. M. Correia, H. Schindler +6
Electroluminescence produced during avalanche development in gaseous avalanche detectors is an useful information for triggering, calorimetry and tracking in gaseous detectors. Nob…
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…
