Reflectance and fluorescence characteristics of PTFE coated with TPB at visible...
Haefner, J.; Fahs, A.; Ho, J.; Stanford, C.; Guenette, R.; Adams, C.; Almazán, H.; Álvarez, V.; Aparicio, B.; Aranburu, A.I.; Arazi, L.; Arnquist, I.J.Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. In noble element systems, it is often coated with tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) to allow detection of vacuum ultraviolet scintillation light. In this work this dependence is investigated for PTFE coated with TPB in air for light of wavelengths of 200 nm, 260 nm, and 450 nm. Th...
A compact dication source for Ba2+ tagging and heavy metal ion sensor development
Navarro, K.E.; Baeza-Rubio, J.; Boyd, M.; Foss, F.W.; Giri, S.; Jones, B.J.P.; Miller, R.L.; Nygren, D.R.; Samaniego, F.J.; Stogsdill, K.We present a tunable metal ion beam that delivers controllable ion currents in the picoamp range for testing of dry-phase ion sensors. Ion beams are formed by sequential atomic evaporation and single or multiple electron impact ionization, followed by acceleration into a sensing region. Controllability of the ionic charge state is achieved through tuning of electrode potentials that influence the retention time...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-06-23; We present the high-energy-neutrino follow-up observations of the first gravitational wave transient GW150914 observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015. We search for coincident neutrino candidates within the data recorded by the IceCube and Antares neutrino detectors. A possible joi...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2014-11-17; We report the results of a multimessenger search for coincident signals from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave observatories and the partially completed IceCube high-energy neutrino detector, including periods of joint operation between 2007-2010. These include parts of the 2005-2007 run and the 200...
Boosting background suppression in the NEXT experiment through Richardson-Lucy ...
Simón, A.; Ifergan, Y.; Redwine, A. B.; Weiss-Babai, R.; Arazi, L.; Adams, C.; Almazán, H.; Álvarez, V.; Aparicio, B.; Aranburu, A. I.; Arnquist, I. J.Submitted to JHEP; Next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments aim for half-life sensitivities of ~$10^{27}$ yr, requiring suppressing backgrounds to <1 count/tonne/yr. For this, any extra background rejection handle, beyond excellent energy resolution and the use of extremely radiopure materials, is of utmost importance. The NEXT experiment exploits differences in the spatial ionization patterns...
Low-diffusion Xe-He gas mixtures for rare-event detection: electroluminescence ...
Fernandes, A. F. M.; Henriques, C. A. O.; Mano, R.D.P.; González-Díaz, D.; Azevedo, C. D. R; Silva, P. A. O. C.; Gomez-Cadenas, J. J.; Freitas, E. D. C.High pressure xenon Time Projection Chambers (TPC) based on secondary scintillation (electroluminescence) signal amplification are being proposed for rare event detection such as directional dark matter, double electron capture and double beta decay detection. The discrimination of the rare event through the topological signature of primary ionisation trails is a major asset for this type of TPC when compared t...
