Measurement of radon-induced backgrounds in the NEXT double beta decay experiment 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The measurement of the internal 222Rn activity in the NEXT-White detector during the so-called Run-II period with 136Xe-depleted xenon is discussed in detail, together with its implications for double beta decay searches in NEXT. The activity is measured through the alpha production rate induced in the fiducial volume by 222Rn and its alpha-emitting progeny. The specific activity is measured to be (38.1 ± 2.2 (stat.) ± 5.9 (syst.)) mBq/m3. Radon-induced electrons have also been characterized from the decay of the 214Bi daughter ions plating out on the cathode of the time projection chamber. From our studies, we conclude that radon-induced backgrounds are sufficiently low to enable a successful NEXT-100 physics program, as the projected rate contribution should not exceed 0.1 counts/yr in the neutrinoless double beta decay sample. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/SEV-2014-0398 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-53371-C04 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 740055-MELODIC info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/740055/EU/Molecule for low diffusion TPCs for rare event searches/MELODIC This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 690575-InvisiblesPlus info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/690575/EU/InvisiblesPlus/InvisiblesPlus This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 674896-ELUSIVES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/674896/EU/The Elusives Enterprise: Asymmetries of the Invisible Universe/ELUSIVES info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/339787/EU/Towards the NEXT generation of bb0nu experimets/NEXT info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.833 2018 PHYSICS, PARTICLES & FIELDS 4 / 29 = 0.138 2018 Q1 T1 1.016 2018 Nuclear and High Energy Physics 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Palmeiro, B.
