The current imaging performance is limited by the diffusion of the ionization electrons during drift. <strong>MELODIC describes a research program to reduce diffusion by adding molecular additives to the xenon gas to improve the imaging capability in an EL HPGXe TPC enhancing the sensitivity to the 0nubb decay<\/strong>, within the context of the NEXT collaboration. The project in being developed in two stages: 1) characterization of the molecular additive in a small detector at the University of Texas at Arlington (USA) (Outgoing Phase); 2) exploit the new gas mixture to perform the measurement of the topological signature in the DEMO++ TPC at the Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular (SPAIN) and at the underground Laboratorio Subterr\u00e1neo de Canfranc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most promising technologies to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0nubb) is a high pressure xenon gas (HPXe) time projection chamber (TPC) with electroluminescent (EL) amplification.
