Demonstration of Single-Barium-Ion Sensitivity for Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay Using Single-Molecule Fluorescence Imaging 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted A new method to tag the barium daughter in the double-beta decay of Xe136 is reported. Using the technique of single molecule fluorescent imaging (SMFI), individual barium dication (Ba++) resolution at a transparent scanning surface is demonstrated. A single-step photobleach confirms the single ion interpretation. Individual ions are localized with superresolution (~2 nm), and detected with a statistical significance of 12.9s over backgrounds. This lays the foundation for a new and potentially background-free neutrinoless double-beta decay technology, based on SMFI coupled to high pressure xenon gas time projection chambers. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/SEV-2014-0398 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-53371-C04 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/339787/EU/Towards the NEXT generation of bb0nu experimets/NEXT info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FEDER/COMPETE/PTDC-FIS-103860-2008 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 9.227 2018 PHYSICS, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 6 / 81 = 0.074 2018 Q1 T1 3.571 2018 Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Jones, B.J.P.
