The EXO-200 detector, part II: auxiliary systems

Abstract The EXO-200 experiment searched for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 136 Xe with a single-phase liquid xenon detector. It used an active mass 110 kg 80.6%-enriched in ultra-low background time projection chamber ionization and scintillation detection readout. This paper describes the design performance various support systems necessary detector operation, including cryogenics, handling, controls. Novel features system were driven by need to protect thin-walled containing xenon, achieve high chemical purity Xe, maintain thermal uniformity across
