  Title The dynamics of ions on phased radio-frequency carpets in high pressure gases and application for barium tagging in xenon gas time projection chambers Type Journal Article
  Year 2022 Publication (down) Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research A Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A  
  Volume 1039 Issue Pages 167000 - 19pp  
  Keywords RF carpets; Ion transport; Neutrinoless double beta decay; Barium tagging  
  Abstract Radio-frequency (RF) carpets with ultra-fine pitches are examined for ion transport in gases at atmospheric pressures and above. We develop new analytic and computational methods for modeling RF ion transport at densities where dynamics are strongly influenced by buffer gas collisions. An analytic description of levitating and sweeping forces from phased arrays is obtained, then thermodynamic and kinetic principles are used to calculate ion loss rates in the presence of collisions. This methodology is validated against detailed microscopic SIMION simulations. We then explore a parameter space of special interest for neutrinoless double beta decay experiments: transport of barium ions in xenon at pressures from 1 to 10 bar. Our computations account for molecular ion formation and pressure dependent mobility as well as finite temperature effects. We discuss the challenges associated with achieving suitable operating conditions, which lie beyond the capabilities of existing devices, using presently available or near-future manufacturing techniques.

  Title Asymmetric tri-bi-maximal mixing and residual symmetries Type Journal Article
  Year 2020 Publication (down) Modern Physics Letters A Abbreviated Journal Mod. Phys. Lett. A  
  Volume 35 Issue 35 Pages 2050292 - 15pp  
  Keywords CP symmetry; CP violation; tri-bi-maximal mixing; asymmetrix texture; grand unification; neutrino masses; neutrino mixing; neutrinoless double beta decay  
  Abstract Asymmetric tri-bi-maximal mixing is a recently proposed, grand unified theory (GUT) based, flavor mixing scheme. In it, the charged lepton mixing is fixed by the GUT connection to down-type quarks and a T-13 flavor symmetry, while neutrino mixing is assumed to be tri-bi-maximal (TBM) with one additional free phase. Here we show that this additional free phase can be fixed by the residual flavor and CP symmetries of the effective neutrino mass matrix. We discuss how those residual symmetries can be unified with T-13 and identify the smallest possible unified flavor symmetries, namely (Z(13)xZ(13))(sic)D-12 and (Z(13)xZ(13))(sic)S-4. Sharp predictions are obtained for lepton mixing angles, CP violating phases and neutrinoless double beta decay.

  Title Beta Decay Studies of Neutron Rich Nuclei Using Total Absorption Gamma-ray Spectroscopy and Delayed Neutron Measurements Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication (down) Journal of the Korean Physical Society Abbreviated Journal J. Korean Phys. Soc.  
  Volume 59 Issue 2 Pages 1499-1502  
  Keywords Beta decay; Delayed neutron emission; Total absorption gamma-ray spectroscopy; Neutron detectors; Nuclear technology; Nuclear astrophysics  
  Abstract A complete characterisation of the beta-decay of neutron-rich nuclei can be obtained from the measurement of beta-delayed gamma rays and, whenever the process is energetically possible, beta-delayed neutrons. The accurate determination of the beta-intensity distribution and the beta-delayed neutron emission probability is of great relevance in the fields of reactor technology and nuclear astrophysics. A programme for combined measurements using the total absorption gamma-ray spectroscopy technique and both neutron counters and neutron time-of-flight spectrometers is presented.

  Title Impact of TAGS Measurement on FP Decay Data and Decay Heat Calculations Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication (down) Journal of the Korean Physical Society Abbreviated Journal J. Korean Phys. Soc.  
  Volume 59 Issue 2 Pages 1543-1546  
  Keywords Fission product; Decay data; JENDL; Beta decay; TAGS; Gross theory; Pandemonium  
  Abstract Nuclear level schemes are usually constructed from the high-resolution data of the gamma-ray transitions which immediately follow the beta-decay of their parents. It is recognized that this procedure may lead to the “pandemonium problem”. If we use the decay data suffering from the pandemonium problem for the decay heat calculations the beta-ray component will be overestimated and the gamma-ray component underestimated. The beta-feeding data obtained by the total absorption gamma-ray spectroscopy (TAGS) is proved to be free from this problem. In the case of the Japanese data base for the FP decay heat calculation, the theoretical values based on the gross theory of beta-decay are widely introduced to circumvent the pandemonium problem. The gross theory, however, is not good at describing any beta-transition exclusively concentrating to a single level in the daughter nucleus. The TAGS method is also proved to be able to save this situation. Further, we have to change our comprehension over the currently published decay schemes.

  Title beta decay studies of n-rich Cs isotopes with the ISOLDE Decay Station Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication (down) Journal of Physics G Abbreviated Journal J. Phys. G  
  Volume 44 Issue 5 Pages 054002 - 14pp  
  Keywords beta decay; exotic nuclei; nuclear deformation; ISOLDE  
  Abstract Neutron-rich Ba isotopes are expected to exhibit octupolar correlations, reaching their maximum in isotopes around mass A = 146. The odd-A neutron-rich members of this isotopic chain show typical patterns related to non-axially symmetric shapes, which are however less marked compared to even-A ones, pointing to a major contribution from vibrations. In the present paper we present results from a recent study focused on Cs148-150 beta-decay performed at the ISOLDE Decay Station equipped with fast-timing detectors. A detailed analysis of the measured decay half-lives and decay scheme of Ba-149 is presented, giving a first insight in the structure of this neutron-rich nucleus.

  Title Beta decay studies with total absorption spectroscopy and the Lucrecia spectrometer at ISOLDE Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication (down) Journal of Physics G Abbreviated Journal J. Phys. G  
  Volume 44 Issue 8 Pages 084004 - 25pp  
  Keywords beta decay; strength functions; total absorption gamma spectroscopy; nuclear shapes  
  Abstract Here we present the experimental activities carried out at ISOLDE with the total absorption spectrometer Lucrecia, a large 4 pi scintillator detector designed to absorb a full gamma cascade following beta decay. This spectrometer is designed to measure beta-feeding to excited states without the systematic error called Pandemonium. The set up allows the measurement of decays of very short half life. Experimental results from several campaigns, that focus on the determination of the shapes of beta-decaying nuclei by measuring their beta decay strength distributions as a function of excitation energy in the daughter nucleus, are presented.

  Title Initial results of NEXT-DEMO, a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 experiment Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication (down) Journal of Instrumentation Abbreviated Journal J. Instrum.  
  Volume 8 Issue Pages P04002 - 25pp  
  Keywords Double-beta decay detectors; Time projection chambers; Pattern recognition, cluster finding, calibration and fitting methods  
  Abstract NEXT-DEMO is a large-scale prototype of the NEXT-100 detector, an electroluminescent time projection chamber that will search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Xe-136 using 100-150 kg of enriched xenon gas. NEXT-DEMO was built to prove the expected performance of NEXT-100, namely, energy resolution better than 1% FWHM at 2.5MeV and event topological reconstruction. In this paper we describe the prototype and its initial results. A resolution of 1.75% FWHM at 511 keV (which extrapolates to 0.8% FWHM at 2.5 MeV) was obtained at 10 bar pressure using a gamma-ray calibration source. Also, a basic study of the event topology along the longitudinal coordinate is presented, proving that it is possible to identify the distinct dE/dx of electron tracks in high-pressure xenon using an electroluminescence TPC.

  Title Ionization and scintillation response of high-pressure xenon gas to alpha particles Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication (down) Journal of Instrumentation Abbreviated Journal J. Instrum.  
  Volume 8 Issue Pages P05025 - 35pp  
  Keywords Charge transport, multiplication and electroluminescence in rare gases and liquids; Gaseous detectors; Double-beta decay detectors; Ionization and excitation processes  
  Abstract High-pressure xenon gas is an attractive detection medium for a variety of applications in fundamental and applied physics. In this paper we study the ionization and scintillation detection properties of xenon gas at 10 bar pressure. For this purpose, we use a source of alpha particles in the NEXT-DEMO time projection chamber, the large scale prototype of the NEXT-100 neutrinoless double beta decay experiment, in three different drift electric field configurations. We measure the ionization electron drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion, and compare our results to expectations based on available electron scattering cross sections on pure xenon. In addition, two types of measurements addressing the connection between the ionization and scintillation yields are performed. On the one hand we observe, for the first time in xenon gas, large event-by-event correlated fluctuations between the ionization and scintillation signals, similar to that already observed in liquid xenon. On the other hand, we study the field dependence of the average scintillation and ionization yields. Both types of measurements may shed light on the mechanism of electron-ion recombination in xenon gas for highly-ionizing particles. Finally, by comparing the response of alpha particles and electrons in NEXT-DEMO, we find no evidence for quenching of the primary scintillation light produced by alpha particles in the xenon gas.

  Title Operation and first results of the NEXT-DEMO prototype using a silicon photomultiplier tracking array Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication (down) Journal of Instrumentation Abbreviated Journal J. Instrum.  
  Volume 8 Issue Pages P09011 - 20pp  
  Keywords Pattern recognition, cluster finding, calibration and fitting methods; Double-beta decay detectors; Particle tracking detectors (Gaseous detectors); Time projection chambers  
  Abstract NEXT-DEMO is a high-pressure xenon gas TPC which acts as a technological test-bed and demonstrator for the NEXT-100 neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. In its current configuration the apparatus fully implements the NEXT-100 design concept. This is an asymmetric TPC, with an energy plane made of photomultipliers and a tracking plane made of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) coated with TPB. The detector in this new configuration has been used to reconstruct the characteristic signature of electrons in dense gas, demonstrating the ability to identify the MIP and “blob” regions. Moreover, the SiPM tracking plane allows for the definition of a large fiducial region in which an excellent energy resolution of 1.82% FWHM at 511 keV has been measured (a value which extrapolates to 0.83% at the xenon Q(beta beta)).

  Title Description and commissioning of NEXT-MM prototype: first results from operation in a Xenon-Trimethylamine gas mixture Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication (down) Journal of Instrumentation Abbreviated Journal J. Instrum.  
  Volume 9 Issue Pages P03010 - 22pp  
  Keywords Time projection chambers; Particle tracking detectors (Gaseous detectors); Double-beta decay detectors  
  Abstract A technical description of NEXT-MM and its commissioning and first performance is reported. Having an active volume of similar to 35 cm drift x 28 cm diameter, it constitutes the largest Micromegas-read TPC operated in Xenon ever constructed, made by a sectorial arrangement of the 4 largest single wafers manufactured with the Microbulk technique to date. It is equipped with a suitably pixelized readout and with a sufficiently large sensitive volume (similar to 23 l) so as to contain long (similar to 20 cm) electron tracks. First results obtained at 1 bar for Xenon and Trymethylamine (Xe-(2%) TMA) mixture are presented. The TPC can accurately reconstruct extended background tracks. An encouraging full-width half-maximum of 11.6% was obtained for similar to 29 keV gammas without resorting to any data post-processing.
