The NEXT White (NEW) detector 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Conceived to host 5 kg of xenon at a pressure of 15 bar in the fiducial volume, the NEXT-White apparatus is currently the largest high pressure xenon gas TPC using electroluminescent amplification in the world. It is also a 1:2 scale model of the NEXT-100 detector for Xe-136 beta beta 0 nu decay searches, scheduled to start operations in 2019. Both detectors measure the energy of the event using a plane of photomultipliers located behind a transparent cathode. They can also reconstruct the trajectories of charged tracks in the dense gas of the TPC with the help of a plane of silicon photomultipliers located behind the anode. A sophisticated gas system, common to both detectors, allows the high gas purity needed to guarantee a long electron lifetime. NEXT-White has been operating since October 2016 at the Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc (LSC), in Spain. This paper describes the detector and associated infrastructures, as well as the main aspects of its initial operation. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/SEV-2014-0398 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MDM-2016-0692 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 All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.366 2018 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 40 / 61 = 0.656 2018 Q3 T2 0.685 2018 Mathematical Physics 2018 Q1 Instrumentation 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gomez-Cadenas, J.J.
