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...
