The nEXO collaboration is developing a low-background detector to search for neutrinoless double beta decays in 5 tonnes of liquid xenon enriched in the isotope Xe-136. Both, 175 nm scintillation light and charge signals of events within the detector will be recorded to allow reconstruction of energy and position of each event. The nEXO collaboration identified Silicon Photon Multipliers...

For underground low background experiment such as direct dark matter search,
lowering the background from detector components is the one of the most important
issue, especially for sensors which occupy largest amount of the components in many case.
PMTs are used very often by many low background experiments, as a photo sensor,
we developed a new low background PMT R13111 which is operable...

Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation water Cerenkov experiment in Japan, scheduled to start construction in 2020. This new experiment will build on the successful strategies developed in the currently running Super-Kamiokande experiment, and be able with unprecedented precision to study the oscillation of neutrinos from different sources and search for proton decay and neutrinos produced by...

Hyper-Kamiokande, scheduled to begin construction as soon as 2020, is a next generation underground water Cherenkov detector, based on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment.
It will serve as a far detector, 295~km away, of a long baseline neutrino experiment for the upgraded J-PARC beam in Japan.
It will also be a detector capable of observing --- far beyond the sensitivity of...

Poly(ethylene naphthalate), PEN, is a commonly used high-performance industrial polyester plastic which has been observed to scintillate in the blue wavelength region, without the need for additional materials. Combined with measurements of a high intrinsic radiopurity, this has sparked interest in the material for use in low-background experiments. In this presentation, measurements of custom...
