Cryogenic Ion Capture Probe R&D at SLAC
Rowson, P. C..
During the early R&D phase for EXO-200 starting in 2001, the SLAC group designed and built a liquid xenon(LXe) probe test cell'. This setup was used at first for thorium ion mobility measurements described in [1]. In addition, the setup was used for barium tagging R&D, testing several barium ion capture `probe' designs, including in May 2003 a novel cryogenic probe built from a modified surgical instrument. As this approach has been recently adopted for R&D work by the Colorado State (CSU) taggi... Show Full Abstract
During the early R&D phase for EXO-200 starting in 2001, the SLAC group designed and built a liquid xenon(LXe) probe test cell'. This setup was used at first for thorium ion mobility measurements described in [1]. In addition, the setup was used for barium tagging R&D, testing several barium ion capture `probe' designs, including in May 2003 a novel cryogenic probe built from a modified surgical instrument. As this approach has been recently adopted for R&D work by the Colorado State (CSU) tagging program, it seems like a good time to review the origins of the method. The history and the results from the work at SLAC will be described. Show Partial Abstract
