Ion manipulation from liquid Xe to vacuum: Ba-tagging for a nEXO upgrade and future experiments
Dwaipayan Ray, Robert Collister, Hussain Rasiwala +27
Neutrinoless double beta decay {()} provides a way to probe physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The upcoming nEXO experiment will search for decay i…
Reflectance of Silicon Photomultipliers at Vacuum Ultraviolet Wavelengths
P. Lv, G. F. Cao, L. J. Wen +148
Characterization of the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) reflectance of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) is important for large-scale SiPM-based photodetector systems. We report the angula…
Measurements of electron transport in liquid and gas Xenon using a laser-driven photocathode
O. Njoya, T. Tsang, M. Tarka +153
Measurements of electron drift properties in liquid and gaseous xenon are reported. The electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect in a semi-transparent gold photocathode…
Reflectivity and PDE of VUV4 Hamamatsu SiPMs in Liquid Xenon
P. Nakarmi, I. Ostrovskiy, A. K. Soma +152
Understanding reflective properties of materials and photodetection efficiency (PDE) of photodetectors is important for optimizing energy resolution and sensitivity of the next gen…
Measurement of the scintillation and ionization response of liquid xenon at MeV energies in the EXO-200 experiment
200 Collaboration, G. Anton, I. Badhrees +99
Liquid xenon (LXe) is employed in a number of current and future detectors for rare event searches. We use the EXO-200 experimental data to measure the absolute scintillation and i…
Simulation of charge readout with segmented tiles in nEXO
Z. Li, W. R. Cen, A. Robinson +150
nEXO is a proposed experiment to search for the neutrino-less double beta decay () of Xe in a tonne-scale liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC). The nEXO TPC wil…
VUV-sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers for Xenon Scintillation Light Detection in nEXO
A. Jamil, T. Ziegler, P. Hufschmidt +140
Future tonne-scale liquefied noble gas detectors depend on efficient light detection in the VUV range. In the past years Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have emerged as a valid al…
Deep Neural Networks for Energy and Position Reconstruction in EXO-200
S. Delaquis, M. J. Jewell, I. Ostrovskiy +91
We apply deep neural networks (DNN) to data from the EXO-200 experiment. In the studied cases, the DNN is able to reconstruct the relevant parameters - total energy and position -…
Characterization of an Ionization Readout Tile for nEXO
nEXO Collaboration, M. Jewell, A. Schubert +142
A new design for the anode of a time projection chamber, consisting of a charge-detecting "tile", is investigated for use in large scale liquid xenon detectors. The tile is produce…
Measurement of the Drift Velocity and Transverse Diffusion of Electrons in Liquid Xenon with the EXO-200 Detector
