Abstract:The xenon time projection chamber (TPC) promises a novel detection method for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0ν ββ) experiments. The TPC is capable of discovering the rare 0ν ββ ionization signal of a distinct topological signature, with a decay energy Q ββ = 2.458 MeV. However, more frequent internal (within TPC) and external events are also capable of depositing energy in the range of the Q ββ -value inside the chamber, thus mimicking 0ν ββ or interfering with its direct observation. In the following paper,… Show more
