In this paper we report on the growing of a large xenon crystal that can be used as low energy threshold particle detector for applications in dark matter searches. A large xenon crystal of ∼150 cm3 volume has been grown exploiting the Bridgman-Stockbarger modified technique in a pyrex chamber. The crystal has been used as a proof of concept of the proposed detection scheme as a sensor for cosmic rays.

Abstract

In this paper we report on the growing of a large xenon crystal that can be used as low energy threshold particle detector for applications in dark matter searches. A large xenon crystal of ∼150 cm3 volume has been grown exploiting the Bridgman-Stockbarger modified technique in a pyrex chamber. The crystal has been used as a proof of concept of the proposed detection scheme as a sensor for cosmic rays.
