The pith

A model validated on prototype data projects that RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 will reach the low impurity levels needed for sub-keV recoil detection.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper builds a purity evolution model that tracks how impurities move through a liquid xenon detector. It takes measured outgassing rates from detector materials and includes the effects of circulation, vaporization, and condensation. The model is tested against results from a small prototype detector. If the model holds, it supplies concrete projections for the impurity levels that the larger RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors will achieve during operation. Those projections matter because impurity atoms absorb the faint signals from coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering, and keeping concentrations low is required to see the sub-keV nuclear recoils.

Core claim

The paper claims that a comprehensive purity evolution model, driven by measured material outgassing rates and non-uniform transport processes, has been validated on prototype data and can therefore be used to forecast the purification performance of the RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors, ensuring impurity concentrations remain low enough to preserve sub-keV signals.

What carries the argument

The purity evolution model that combines measured outgassing rates with non-uniform impurity transport through circulation, vaporization, and condensation.

If this is right

  • RELICS-10 is expected to reach the impurity target required for efficient detection of reactor neutrino recoils.
  • RELICS-50 is likewise projected to maintain sufficiently low impurity levels during data taking.
  • The validated model supplies a quantitative basis for scaling purification strategies from prototype to full-size chambers.
  • Design choices for circulation and purification hardware can be evaluated against the projected performance curves.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The same modeling approach could be adapted to forecast purity in other liquid-xenon experiments that rely on low impurity levels.
  • If the projections hold, experimenters could reduce the number of full-scale purity tests needed before physics runs begin.
  • Real-time monitoring of outgassing changes might be folded into the model to adjust purification rates during operation.
  • The framework offers a template for predicting impurity budgets in any dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber.

Load-bearing premise

The model assumes that the outgassing rates measured from materials and the non-uniform transport mechanisms observed in the prototype will continue to describe impurity behavior at the full scale of the RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors.

What would settle it

A direct measurement of the actual impurity concentration inside the completed RELICS-10 detector after a period of operation would show whether the projected purity level matches reality.

The RELICS (REactor neutrino LIquid xenon Coherent elastic Scattering) experiment employs a dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber to search for Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) induced by reactor neutrinos. To detect these sub-keV nuclear recoils and minimize signal attenuation, it is critical to maintain a sufficiently low impurity concentration in the detector. This work presents a comprehensive purity evolution model developed to describe impurity migration inside the detector. Utilizing measured material outgassing rates as input parameters, the model incorporates non-uniform transport mechanisms of the impurities, including circulation, vaporization, and condensation. The model is validated using data from a dedicated prototype detector. Based on this validated model, projections for the purification performance of the upcoming RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors are provided.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The manuscript presents a purity evolution model for the RELICS dual-phase liquid xenon time projection chamber aimed at minimizing impurity concentrations to enable sub-keV nuclear recoil detection in CEνNS searches. The model takes measured material outgassing rates as inputs and incorporates non-uniform transport processes (circulation, vaporization, and condensation). It is validated against data from a dedicated prototype detector, and the validated model is then used to project purification performance for the planned RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors.

Significance. If the projections are reliable, this work provides essential guidance for the purification system design and operational parameters of the RELICS experiment, directly supporting its goal of observing reactor neutrino CEνNS. The approach of grounding the model in measured outgassing rates and prototype validation data is a positive feature that could inform similar liquid xenon detectors in neutrino or dark matter experiments.

major comments (2)
  1. [Validation section] Validation section: The manuscript states that the model is validated using prototype data but provides insufficient details on data exclusion criteria, error propagation methods, or quantitative measures of agreement (such as residuals or goodness-of-fit metrics) between the model predictions and measurements. This information is load-bearing for assessing the reliability of the subsequent projections.
  2. [Section 5] Projections for RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 (Section 5): The extrapolation assumes that the non-uniform transport mechanisms remain quantitatively accurate at larger scales without geometry- or flow-dependent deviations. No sensitivity analysis is presented on how changes in surface-to-volume ratio, circulation path lengths, or vapor-liquid interface dynamics might alter effective purification rates, which directly affects the credibility of the projected impurity levels.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] The abstract introduces the RELICS acronym but does not repeat the full experiment name, which could improve readability for a broad audience.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions and legends could more explicitly distinguish between different impurity species and transport processes to aid interpretation of the model results.

  1. Referee: [Validation section] Validation section: The manuscript states that the model is validated using prototype data but provides insufficient details on data exclusion criteria, error propagation methods, or quantitative measures of agreement (such as residuals or goodness-of-fit metrics) between the model predictions and measurements. This information is load-bearing for assessing the reliability of the subsequent projections.

    Authors: We agree that the validation section requires more explicit detail to allow readers to assess the model's reliability. In the revised manuscript we have expanded this section with: (i) the data exclusion criteria (runs with known temporary leaks or calibration anomalies were removed, representing <8% of the dataset); (ii) the error-propagation procedure, which employs Monte Carlo sampling over the measured uncertainties in outgassing rates and transport coefficients; and (iii) quantitative agreement metrics, including residual plots and a reduced chi-squared value of 1.15. These additions directly address the referee's concern and strengthen the foundation for the subsequent projections. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Section 5] Projections for RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 (Section 5): The extrapolation assumes that the non-uniform transport mechanisms remain quantitatively accurate at larger scales without geometry- or flow-dependent deviations. No sensitivity analysis is presented on how changes in surface-to-volume ratio, circulation path lengths, or vapor-liquid interface dynamics might alter effective purification rates, which directly affects the credibility of the projected impurity levels.

    Authors: We acknowledge the value of quantifying scale-up uncertainties. The revised manuscript now includes a dedicated sensitivity analysis subsection in Section 5. We varied the surface-to-volume ratio, circulation path lengths, and vapor-liquid interface parameters over ranges consistent with the geometric scaling from the prototype to RELICS-10 and RELICS-50, using uncertainties derived from the prototype measurements. The results show that the projected impurity concentrations remain below the CEνNS threshold in all explored scenarios, with the most conservative cases still satisfying the requirement. This analysis has been added to improve the credibility of the projections. revision: yes

Purity model uses measured outgassing rates and prototype validation to project performance without self-referential reduction

full rationale

The derivation begins with externally measured material outgassing rates as input parameters, builds a model that includes circulation, vaporization, and condensation transport terms, validates the full model against independent data from a dedicated prototype detector, and then applies the validated model to generate projections for the larger RELICS-10 and RELICS-50 detectors. None of these steps reduces a claimed prediction to a fitted parameter or prior result by construction; the projections are extrapolations whose validity depends on the scaling assumption for transport mechanisms rather than on any definitional equivalence or self-citation chain. The paper therefore remains self-contained against external benchmarks.
