Abstract:Coating detector materials with films highly reflective in
the vacuum ultraviolet region improves sensitivity of the
next-generation rare-event detectors that use liquid xenon. In this
work, we investigate the MgF2-Al-MgF2 coating designed to
achieve high reflectance at 175 nm, the mean wavelength of liquid
xenon (LXe) scintillation. The coating was applied to an unpolished,
passivated copper substrate mimicking a realistic detector component
of the proposed nEXO experiment, as well as to two unp… Show more
