Effects of Nitrogen contamination in liquid Argon
A dedicated test of the effects of Nitrogen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. A detector has been designed and assembled for this specific task and connected to a system for the injection of controlled amounts of gaseous Nitrogen into the liquid Argon. Purpose of the test is to detect the reduction of th...
متن کاملMagnetized liquid Argon detector for electron charge sign discrimination
A liquid Argon time projection chamber (TPC) immersed in magnetic field is proposed for systematic study and parameter optimisation in electron/muon charge sign discrimination and muon momentum determination by magnetic deflection. Design criteria and preliminary calculation are described. A proof of principle experiment is proposed using an electron beam of 1-10 GeV/c momentum incident on a pr...
متن کاملIonization of liquid argon by a particles
From an analysis of electron pulses in liquid argon produced by a particles the average energy required to form an ion pair is evaluated, assurmng JaEk’s theory of columnar recombination is valid. The mean value of 26.0 ev found in this way agrees well with the corresponding value of 26.4 ev for a particles m argon gas. Application of Jaffk’s theory to the liquid state is discussed, and from th...
متن کاملElectron scattering and transport in liquid argon.
The transport of excess electrons in liquid argon driven out of equilibrium by an applied electric field is revisited using a multi-term solution of Boltzmann's equation together with ab initio liquid phase cross-sections calculated using the Dirac-Fock scattering equations. The calculation of liquid phase cross-sections extends previous treatments to consider multipole polarisabilities and a n...
متن کاملScintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector
The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...
