Invited talk

Large detectors employing xenon are a leading technology in existing and planned searches for new physics, including searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) and dark matter. While upcoming detectors will employ target masses of a ton or more, further extending gas- or liquid-phase Xe detectors to the ktonne scale would enable extremely sensitive next-generation searches for rare...

Given that xenon production by cryogenic distillation is prohibitory in cost and insufficient in quantity to provide for the next generation of xenon detectors, adsorption of xenon onto porous materials may be a viable alternative. Activated carbons and zeolites are possible adsorbent candidates. However, the non-specific intermolecular interactions between these materials and xenon afflict...
