Scientific paper
The results achieved during the third year grant period are summarized. These achievements include the time stability of the charge gain of the demonstration of the 10 liter LXe-TPC gamma-ray detector prototype; the efficiency of the Xe scintillation light signal to trigger gamma-ray events with a minimum energy deposition of about 300 keV was measured to be higher than 90%; Monte Carlo simulations of the detailed LXe-TPC detector geometry, including the electric field distribution, focussing, and shielding effects, were initiated to understand the complex histories of the recorded events and in turn to develop better reconstruction algorithms; and the new design of the LXe-TPC SS bottom flange and vacuum cryostat to turn the existing detector into a balloon flight prototype is almost complete.
