Abstract

Searching for the neutrinoless double beta decay ( \({0{\nu}{\beta}{\beta}}\) ) is crucial for studying the properties of neutrinos. Time projection chamber (TPC), with good energy resolution and track information, is an available technique. In \(\textrm{N}\nu\textrm{DEx}\) experiment, we proposed a TPC with high pressure \({}^{82}\textrm{SeF}_{6}\) to search for \({0{\nu}{\beta}{\beta}}\) of \({}^{82}\textrm{Se}\) , which will be deployed in China Jinping Underground Laboratory. To achieve best energy resolution as possible, the readout plane consisting of about 10k custom-designed Topmetal-S chips are being developed for direct charge collection. The effective noise charge of the current generation Topmetal-S chip is presented, depending on the operational point and test condition. Understanding the gas properties is important for \(\textrm{N}\nu\textrm{DEx}\) experiment. With laser beam and a small TPC, we observed the minority and majority charge carriers in structurally similar \(\textrm{SF}_{6}\) gas with electric fields from 735 to 1351 V/cm and pressures from 377 to 750 Torr, which paves the way for future study of the \(\textrm{SeF}_{6}\) gas.
