Radio frequency and DC high voltage breakdown of high pressure helium, argon, and xenon

Journal Article Woodruff, K. ; Baeza-Rubio, J. ; Huerta, D. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

Motivated by the possibility of guiding daughter ions from double beta decay events to single-ion sensors for barium tagging, the NEXT collaboration is developing a program of R&D to test radio frequency (RF) carpets for ion transport in high pressure xenon gas. Specifically, this would require carpet functionality in regimes at higher pressures than have been previously reported, implying correspondingly larger electrode voltages than in existing systems. This mode of operation appears plausible for contemporary RF-carpet geometries due to the higher predicted breakdown strength of high pressure xenon relative to low pressure helium, the working medium in most existing RFmore »« less

High voltage insulation and gas absorption of polymers in high pressure argon and xenon gases

Journal Article Rogers, L. ; Clark, R. A. ; Jones, B. J. P. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

High pressure gas time projection chambers (HPGTPCs) are made with a variety of materials, many of which still await proper characterization in high pressure noble gas environments. Further, as HPGTPCs increase in size toward ton-scale detectors, assemblies become larger and more complex, creating a need for detailed understanding of how structural supports and high voltage insulators behave. This includes identification of materials with predictable mechanical properties and without surface charge accumulation that may lead to field deformation or sparking.

Breakdown voltage of metal-oxide resistors in liquid argon

Journal Article Bagby, L. F. ; Gollapinni, S. ; James, C. C. ; ... - Journal of Instrumentation

We characterized a sample of metal-oxide resistors and measured their breakdown voltage in liquid argon by applying high voltage (HV) pulses over a 3 second period. This test mimics the situation in a HV-divider chain when a breakdown occurs and the voltage across resistors rapidly rise from the static value to much higher values. All resistors had higher breakdown voltages in liquid argon than their vendor ratings in air at room temperature. Failure modes range from full destruction to coating damage. In cases where breakdown was not catastrophic, subsequent breakdown voltages were lower in subsequent measuring runs. One resistor typemore »« less

High Voltage Insulation and Gas Absorption of Polymers in High Pressure Argon and Xenon Gases

Journal Article Rogers, L. ; et al. - JINST

High pressure gas time projection chambers (HPGTPCs) are made with a variety of materials, many of which have not been well characterized in high pressure noble gas environments. As HPGTPCs are scaled up in size toward ton-scale detectors, assemblies become larger and more complex, creating a need for detailed understanding of how structural supports and high voltage insulators behave. This includes the identification of materials with predictable mechanical properties and without surface charge accumulation that may lead to field deformation or sparking.

Liquid xenon scintillation measurements and pulse shape discrimination in the LUX dark matter detector

Journal Article Akerib, D. S. ; Alsum, S. ; Araújo, H. M. ; ... - Physical Review D

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a leading candidate for dark matter and are expected to produce nuclear recoil (NR) events within liquid xenon time-projection chambers. We present a measurement of the scintillation timing characteristics of liquid xenon in the LUX dark matter detector and develop a pulse shape discriminant to be used for particle identification. To accurately measure the timing characteristics, we develop a template-fitting method to reconstruct the detection times of photons. Analyzing calibration data collected during the 2013–2016 LUX WIMP search, we provide a new measurement of the singlet-to-triplet scintillation ratio for electron recoils (ER) below 46more »« less
