| Abstract | The NEXT experiment pretends, through studying the double beta decay of xenon on a TCP camera, to demonstrate that the neutrino is its own antiparticle. To do this, is necessary to measure the energy of the double beta decays occurring in the chamber. However, there are a large number of other events occurring in the chamber, so is necessary to discriminate the events occurring in the chamber. The trigger system is the responsible for discriminating which events have an energy of interest, therefore, the efficiency of this system affects the capacity of the system to acquire data. This work proposes the implementation of a digital shaper in the trigger system. The shaper will allow a greater discrimination of events, improving the effectiveness of the trigger. To implement the shaper a computer model of the trigger will be developed, this model will process the data acquired by the experiment and will be able to discriminate invalid events in order to quantify the effects of the shaper, this will allow to obtain the parameters of the shaper that maximize the ratio between valid and invalid events. With these parameters defined the shaper will be implemented in the trigger system of the experiment, to finally evaluate the efficacy and viability of the shaper analysing the real data collected from the NEXT-NEW detector located under the mountains in Canfranc. |
