Issue Date: | Aug-2023 | Publisher: | Institute of Physics Publishing | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Instrumentation | Volume: | 18 | Issue: | 8 | Abstract: | The search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0𝜈𝛽𝛽) remains one of the most compelling experimental avenues for the discovery in the neutrino sector. Electroluminescent gas-phase time projection chambers are well suited to 0𝜈𝛽𝛽 searches due to their intrinsically precise energy resolution and topological event identification capabilities. Scalability to ton- and multi-ton masses requires readout of large-area electroluminescent regions with fine spatial resolution, low radiogenic backgrounds, and a scalable data acquisition system. This paper presents a detector prototype that records event topology in an electroluminescent xenon gas TPC via VUV image-intensified cameras. This enables an extendable readout of large tracking planes with commercial devices that reside almost entirely outside of the active medium. Following further development in intermediate scale demonstrators, this technique may represent a novel and enlargeable method for topological event imaging in 0𝜈𝛽𝛽. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112196 | DOI: | 10.1088/1748-0221/18/08/P08006 | Rights: | openAccess |
