2 Why neon? Scin?llates efficiently (of order 20 photons/kev or more) No long lived isotopes Easily purified of radioac?ve contaminants Charcoal extremely effec?ve at liquid neon temperatures (Harrison et al., NIM A 570 (2007) ) 1.2 g/liter Not cheap, although not as expensive as xenon (~few hundred USD/kg) Can detect neutrino- electron and neutrino- nucleus sca\ering Property He Ne Ar Kr Xe Atomic number (Z) Atomic mass (A) Boiling point T b at 1 atm [K] Melting point T m at 1 atm [K] Gas density at 1 atm, 298 K [g/l] Gas density at 1 atm, T b [g/l] Liquid density at 1 atm, T b [g/cm 3 ] Critical temperatre T c [K] Critical pressure p c [atm] Critical density ρ c [g/cm 3 ] Liquid dielectric constant Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,

4 Liquid noble gas detectors reminder Radia?on (gamma, electron, neutron, neutrino) collides with electron or nucleus, deposi?ng energy Recoiling electrons or nuclei excite other atoms Leads to scin?lla?on via metastable molecules (in two states, singlet and triplet) and ioniza?on electron recoil nuclear recoil atomic motion Xe2 * +Xe excitation + ionization Xe+ + e- Xe * +Xe Xe2 + + e - escaping electrons ionization electrons 2Xe + hν scintillation light (175 nm) recombination Xe ** +Xe S1 S2 4
5 History Packard, Surko and Reif measure scin?lla?on spectrum in solid and liquid neon Suemoto and Kanzaki measure absorp?on spectra in liquid and solid neon, and observe both molecular and atomic transi?ons Atomic states have very long radia?ve life?mes (~600 us), but also have non- radia?ve decays Michniak et al. observe 7.4 photons/kev for electrons and a life?me of 4 us Yale group (James Nikkel) observes 15 us life?me, disagreement a\ributed to purity, first observa?on of pulse shape discrimina?on (PSD) MicroCLEAN measurements at Yale Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,
6 Neon scin/lla/on probably more complicated than standard picture Small hump in molecular poten?als could lead to longer lived atomic species Free electrons form bubble states (as in helium) If molecules do as well (as in helium), that can change interac?ons From Cohen and Schneider, J. Chem Phys., 61, 3230 (1970) 6

12 MicroCLEAN Time dependence is more involved than just 2 or 3 exponen?ally decaying species (singlet, triplet, atomic,?) Normalized mean voltage K average trace 2-component model 3-component model Time (µs) Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,
13 MicroCLEAN Time dependence also changes with pressure and temperature Voltage (arb. units) K, τ l = 21.5 ± 1.5 µs 27.8 K, τ l = 18.2 ± 0.4 µs 28.8 K, τ l = ± 0.05 µs Time (µs) Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,

15 MicroCLEAN Slight increase in signal with temperature Photoelectron yield (pe/kev) tot Neon temperature (K) Will need to be well understood for a large solar neutrino detector with non- uniform thermodynamics Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,
16 MicroCLEAN Temperature/Pressure dependence remains largely unexplored Measurements on satura?on line (T and p went together) No electric field Might have something to do with bubble states Time constant (µs) τ l Bubble-mixture model, β = Neon temperature (K) Jin Ping Workshop, June 9-,
