- Experimental measurement of the mobilities of atomic, Ne+, and dimer, Ne2+, ions in NePublication . Garcia, A. N. C.; Trindade, A. M. F.; Oliveira, T. D. P.; Neves, P. N. B.; Barata, J. A. S.; Távora, L. M. N.; Dias, T. H. V. T.; Borges, F. I. G. M.; Conde, C. A. N.We measured the reduced mobilities of the atomic, Ne+, and dimer, Ne2+, ions in Ne, under different pressures and reduced electric fields, at 300 K. The value obtained for the atomic ion, 4.1 cm2V1 s1, is in good agreement with other values published in the scientific literature. The value obtained for the mobility of the dimer ion, 7.3 cm2 V1 s1, is not in accordance with other published data. We discuss the most probable sources of error.
- Photopeak shift effects due to the drift electric field in high pressure xenon detectorsPublication . Neves, P. N. B.; Barata, J. A. S.; Távora, L. M. N.; Dias, T. H. V. T.; Borges, F. I. G. M.; Conde, C. A. N.The photopeak shift in High Pressure Xe (HPXe) gamma ray detectors due to the energy acquired/lost by the photoelectric and Compton electrons, from the electric field applied in the drift region, is calculated using the PENELOPE code for gamma rays from several radioactive sources. The implications of this effect in HPXe detectors are discussed, namely for TPCs for double beta decay of 136 Xe studies.
