    The assembly of the NEXT-100 detector is complete! Presently, the detector is working at low pressure to test and calibrate the instrumentation. NEXT-100 employs 60 photomultipliers in the energy plane, compared to the 12 PMTs used in its predecessor, NEXT-White. The tracking plane is made up of 3584 SiPMs (1792 in NEXT-White) meant to provide the…
