Charged liquid surface instabilities and detection of Solar neutrino by XENONnT

Abstract

Announcement of detection of Solar 8B neutrinos by XENONnT dual-phase detector come with a suite of unexplained detector effects. We expect accumulation of surface charges and charged surface instability resulting in maximal surface elevation and charge density at wire crossing regions, where anomalies were observed. Thou data from these regions were excluded from analysis, surface distortions and charges are present everywhere, which can lead to large systematic errors in small signal detection.
