Zusammenfassung
Background identification and suppression is of paramount importance for experiments seeking
extremely rare events. Direct dark matter searches such as the XENON1T experiment fall in
this category. 222Rn daughters are the dominant contribution to the internal background of the
XENON1T detector. Air contains traces of radon which plates out its progeny onto the surface
of the detector materials, such as the PTFE. This polymer is in direct contact with the sensitive
liquid xenon as it is used to house the detector's dual-phase time projection chamber. The effects
of surface cleaning procedures to remove surface sources from PTFE are investigated in this work.
With a dedicated experimental setup, we investigate the efficiency of standard surface treatments
and their applicability for XENON1T and the future upgrade XENONnT.
