A search for neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in $^{136}$Xe is performed with the full EXO-200 dataset using a deep neural network to discriminate between $0\nu\beta\beta$ and background events. Relative previous analyses, signal detection efficiency has been raised from 80.8% 96.4$\pm$3.0% energy resolution of detector at Q-value improved $\sigma/E=1.23\%$ $1.15\pm0.02\%$ upgraded detector. Accounting new data, median 90% confidence level half-life sensitivity this analysis...
The projected performance and detector configuration of nEXO are described in this pre-Conceptual Design Report (pCDR). is a tonne-scale neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay search $^{136}$Xe, based on the ultra-low background liquid xenon technology validated by EXO-200. With $\simeq$ 5000 kg enriched to 90% isotope 136, has half-life sensitivity approximately $10^{28}$ years. This represents an improvement about two orders magnitude with respect current results. Based experience gained...
We apply deep neural networks (DNN) to data from the EXO-200 experiment. In studied cases, DNN is able reconstruct relevant parameters—total energy and position—directly raw digitized waveforms, with minimal exceptions. For first time, developed algorithms are evaluated on real detector calibration data. The accuracy of reconstruction either reaches or exceeds what was achieved by conventional approaches over course Most existing event classification in particle physics trained Monte Carlo...

Results from can inform neutrino...
Liquid xenon (LXe) is employed in a number of current and future detectors for rare event searches. We use the EXO-200 experimental data to measure absolute scintillation ionization yields generated by $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ interactions from $^{228}\mathrm{Th}$ (2615 keV), $^{226}\mathrm{Ra}$ (1764 $^{60}\mathrm{Co}$ (1332 keV 1173 keV) calibration sources, over range electric fields. The $W$ value that defines recombination-independent energy scale measured be...
