“…In this work, we report new results on the xenon w sc -value in absence of recombination, for α-particles in the 1.5 to 2.5 MeV range and for x/γ-rays in the 6-60 keV range. These findings can be extrapolated to other noble gases, like Ar and Kr, and might have also impact on potential future detectors such as DUNE-Gas [31].…”

Xenon scintillation has been widely used in rare event detection experiments, such as in neutrinoless double beta decay, double electron captures and dark matter searches. Nonetheless, experimental values for primary scintillation yield in gaseous xenon (GXe) remain scarce and dispersed. The mean energy required to produce a scintillation photon, w sc, in GXe in the absence of recombination has been measured to be in the range of 34–111 eV. Lower w sc-values were reported for α-particles when compared to electrons produced by γ- or x-rays. Since w sc is expected to be similar for x-, γ-rays or electrons and almost equal to that obtained for α-particles, the above difference can not be understood. In addition, at present one may also pose the question of a dependence of w sc on photon energy. We carried out a systematic study on the absolute primary scintillation yield in GXe under reduced electric fields in the 70–300 V cm-1 bar-1 range and near atmospheric pressure, 1.2 bar, supported by a robust geometrical efficiency simulation model. We were able to clear-out the above standing problems: w sc was determined for x/γ-rays in the 5.9–60 keV energy range as well as for α-particles in the 1.5–2.5 MeV range, and no significant dependency neither on radiation type nor on energy has been observed. Our experimental w sc-values agree well with both up-to-date simulations and literature data obtained for α-particles. The discrepancy between our results and the experimental values found in the literature for x/γ-rays is discussed in this work and attributed to unaddressed large systematic errors in those previous studies. These findings can be extrapolated to other gases, and have impact on experiments such as double beta decay, double electron capture and directional dark matter searches while also on potential future detection systems such as DUNE-Gas. Only assuming the VUV emission band as is the case of most of the literature values, a mean w sc-value of 38.7 ± 0.6 (sta.)+7.7 -7.2 (sys.) eV was obtained. If the UV-VIS emission band is to be considered, the average energy to produce a photon was determined to be w 2nd = 43.5 ± 0.7 (sta.)+8.7 -8.1 (sys.) eV and w 3rd = 483 ± 7 (sta.+110 -105 (sys.) eV, in the VUV and UV-VIS bands, respectively.

We present a novel conceptual design for a magnet system that provides the magnetic field necessary for the analysis of tracks in a high-pressure gaseous argon TPC while simultaneously serving as a pressure vessel to contain the TPC gas volume. The magnet was developed within a Near Detector proposal for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The high-pressure gaseous argon TPC is a component proposed to be one of the elements of an ensemble of near detectors that are needed for DUNE.

“…There are many new ideas for doing more with these detectors, from scaling to larger mass (e.g., nEXO [126]), to improving reconstruction capabilities by using pixelated charge readout in LArTPCs (e.g., LArPix, QPix) or moving to high-pressure (e.g. ND-GAr [14], NEXT) or atmospheric-pressure (e.g. CYGNUS) TPCs, to lowering thresholds by using underground sources of LAr.…”
