abstract

The next-generation Enriched Xenon Observatory (nEXO) is a proposed experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay in $^{136}$Xe with a target half-life sensitivity of approximately $10^{28}$ years using $5\times10^3$ kg of isotopically enriched liquid-xenon in a time projection chamber. This improvement of two orders of magnitude in sensitivity over current limits is obtained by a significant increase of the $^{136}$Xe mass, the monolithic and homogeneous configuration of the active medium, and the multi-parameter measurements of the interactions enabled by the time projection chamber. The detector concept and anticipated performance are presented based upon demonstrated realizable background rates.

    physics.ins-det 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In-situ comparison in liquid xenon finds HPK VUV4 SiPMs detect 33–38% less scintillation light than FBK VUV-HD3 SiPMs, attributed to surface shadowing at oblique photon incidence.

  2. Titanium for rare-event searches: Hydrofluoric acid-free etching

    physics.ins-det 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Titanium can be etched with 40% sulfuric acid at 40°C, removing about 3.7 µm of surface material and eliminating visible surface contaminants, offering an HF-free preparation route for rare-event detector materials.

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A proceedings review of the author's prior EFT calculation of neutrinoless double beta decay and of a two-sterile-neutrino model, containing no new derivation.
