I wish there was a non-xenon 0vbb gas with electron drift, don't you? That's what this paper is about. To find a new 0vbb gas, we dug through every chemical catalog we could find to identify every easily-vaporized species of Ge, Se, Te, Zr, Mo, Sn, Pd, Nd, Ca. 6/

After a couple of days in Kingston and Queen's University, I am now on the ground in Frankfurt, Germany, and headed to Heidelberg for the third international summit on #neutrino-less double #betadecay.

Meanwhile, the search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0vbb) requires us to fill detectors with one of a few dozen chemical elements. Does this gas-drift chamber idea work? Almost: xenon is the ONLY element both on the 0vbb list and in the standard catalog of of electropositive gases. 5/

(Actually germane, tetramethylgermane, and tetramethylstannane ARE already in the literature---just not the 0vbb literature----showing nice drift properties!) 10/

Using the quantum chemistry simulation code ORCA, we asked which ones might be non-attaching or electropositive. We found 16 actually existing chemicals and made up two plausible new ones. We believe you can build 0vbb-search TPCs filled with these instead of xenon. 7/

Final point is: there's no point thinking about blue-sky 0vbb detector ideas unless you're prepared to talk about beyond-ton-scale. Gas TPCs scale up surprisingly easily, and---with some assumptions about what your design constraints are---the gases proposed here can outperform xenon. 16/

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! Enjoy part 2 of our The Grinch one-off!

Had a wonderful time at the 3rd International Summit on the Future of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay. 0vbb, as we might abbreviate it, is an ultra-rare process that, if discovered, gives insight to the mass of the neutrino. Combined with single beta decay and astrophysics, the chase is on to […]
