液体氙时间投影室是寻找无中微子双β衰变（0）的有前途的探测器，由于其响应均匀性，单片灵敏体积，可扩展到大目标质量，并适用于极低的背景操作。nEXO合作设计了一个吨级的时间投影室，旨在寻找具有预计半衰期灵敏度的0fyr。为了达到这种灵敏度，nEXO的设计目标是在衰变Q值（keV）处的1%能量分辨率。达到这个分辨率需要有效地收集探测器中产生的电离和闪烁。nEXO设计采用硅光电倍增器（SiPM）来检测液体氙的真空紫外线、175 nm闪烁光。本文报告了专门为nEXO设计的最新真空紫外线敏感Fondazione Bruno Kessler VUVHD 3 SiPM的表征，以及对之前表征的Hamamatsu VUV 4多像素光子计数器（MPPC）的新测试样本的新测量结果。各种SiPM和MPPC参数，如暗噪声，增益，直接串扰，相关雪崩和光子探测效率作为施加的过电压和波长的函数在液体氙温度（163 K）进行了测量。本研究的结果用于提供nEXO设计在衰减Q值处可实现的能量分辨率的更新估计。
Liquid xenon time projection chambers are promising detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0), due to their response uniformity, monolithic sensitive volume, scalability to large target masses, and suitability for extremely low background operations. The nEXO collaboration has designed a tonne-scale time projection chamber that aims to search for 0ofXe with projected half-life sensitivity ofyr. To reach this sensitivity, the design goal for nEXO is1% energy resolution at the decayQ-value (keV). Reaching this resolution requires the efficient collection of both the ionization and scintillation produced in the detector. The nEXO design employs Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) to detect the vacuum ultra-violet, 175 nm scintillation light of liquid xenon. This paper reports on the characterization of the newest vacuum ultra-violet sensitive Fondazione Bruno Kessler VUVHD3 SiPMs specifically designed for nEXO, as well as new measurements on new test samples of previously characterised Hamamatsu VUV4 Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs). Various SiPM and MPPC parameters, such as dark noise, gain, direct crosstalk, correlated avalanches and photon detection efficiency were measured as a function of the applied over voltage and wavelength at liquid xenon temperature (163 K). The results from this study are used to provide updated estimates of the achievable energy resolution at the decayQ-value for the nEXO design.
