The NEXT-100 Detector
NEXT Collaboration, C. Adams, H. Almazán +114
The NEXT collaboration is dedicated to the study of double beta decays of Xe using a high-pressure gas electroluminescent time projection chamber. This advanced technology…
First Measurement of Neutrino Emissions from Spent Nuclear Fuel by the Double Chooz Experiment
Double Chooz Collaboration, T. Abrahão, H. Almazan +91
Neutrino emission from nuclear reactors provides real-time insights into reactor power and fuel evolution, with potential applications in monitoring and nuclear safeguards. Followi…
Performance of an Optical TPC Geant4 Simulation with Opticks GPU-Accelerated Photon Propagation
NEXT Collaboration, I. Parmaksiz, K. Mistry +113
We investigate the performance of Opticks, a NVIDIA OptiX API 7.5 GPU-accelerated photon propagation tool compared with a single-threaded Geant4 simulation. We compare the simulati…
Fluorescence Imaging of Individual Ions and Molecules in Pressurized Noble Gases for Barium Tagging in Xe
NEXT Collaboration, N. Byrnes, E. Dey +112
The imaging of individual Ba ions in high pressure xenon gas is one possible way to attain background-free sensitivity to neutrinoless double beta decay and hence establish…
