Neutral Bremsstrahlung Emission in Xenon Unveiled
Henriques, C. A. O.; Amedo, P.; Teixeira, J. M. R.; González-Díaz, D.; Azevedo, C. D. R.; Para, A.; Martín-Albo, J; Hernandez, A. SaaPOPULAR SUMMARY When ionizing radiation interacts with xenon, copious amounts of ultraviolet light are emitted at particular wavelengths—an “electroluminescence” that is leveraged in dark matter searches and neutrino detectors. But researchers were not aware of the presence of another, fainter, light emission over a broader wavelength range, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Therefore, scientists expla...
Sensitivity of a tonne-scale NEXT detector for neutrinoless double-beta decay s...
Adams, C.; Álvarez, V; Arazi, L.; Arnquist, I. J.; Azevedo, C. D. R; Bailey, K.; Ballester, F.; Benlloch-Rodríguez, J. M.; Borges, F. I. G. M.The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless double-beta (0 ) decay of 136Xe using high-pressure xenon gas TPCs with electroluminescent amplification. A scaled-up version of this technology with about 1 tonne of enriched xenon could reach in less than 5 years of operation a sensitivity to the half-life of 0 decay better than 1027 years, improving the current limits by at least o...
