For the first time, a small dual-phase (liquid/gas) xenon time projection chamber was equipped with a top array of silicon photomultipliers for light and charge readout. Here we describe the instrument in detail, as well as the data processing and the event position reconstruction algorithms. We obtain a spatial resolution of in the horizontal plane. To characterise the detector performance, we show calibration data with internal and sources, and we detail the production of the latter as well as its introduction into the system. We finally compare the observed light and charge yields down to electronic recoil energies of to predictions based on NEST v2.0.
首次将一个小型双相(液体/气体)氙时间投影室配备了用于光和电荷读出的顶部硅光电倍增管阵列。在此,我们详细描述该仪器,以及数据处理和事件位置重建算法。我们在水平面上获得了 的空间分辨率。为了表征探测器性能,我们展示了使用内部 和 源的校准数据,并详细说明了后者的产生及其引入系统的过程。我们最终将观测到的低至 电子反冲能量的光产额和电荷产额与基于NEST v2.0的预测进行了比较。
