Measuring Infrared Light Emission in Xenon — •Kai Böse for the XENON collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik

Xenon is an ideal target for searching for rare events such as dark matter or neutrinoless double-beta decay. Several experiments utilize its ultraviolet scintillation to study interactions with nuclei and electrons. However, it is also known that xenon emits infrared light, which has been less extensively studied. Our group at MPIK Heidelberg has begun investigating the IR component in xenon interactions using infrared-sensitive photomultiplier tubes for future rare event search applications.
