Radiopurity assessment of the energy readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
Radiopurity assessment of the energy readout for the NEXT double beta decay experiment
The "Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon Time-Projection Chamber" (NEXT) experiment intends to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe, and therefore requires a severe suppression of potential backgrounds. An extensive material screening and selection process was undertaken to quantify the radioactivity of the materials used in the experiment. Separate …
