Noble element detectors are widely used today in particle and nuclear physics experiments, as well as in applied fields such as medical imaging. Noble elements are excellent detection media that provide strong scintillation and ionization primary signals. However, the efficient detection of that scintillation light, fundamentally emitted in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectral range, remains...
The LiquidO technology brings a novel approach to particle detectors by using the medium’s opacity to stochastically confine photons within a few cm near its creation point and collect the trapped light through arrays of wavelength-shifting fibers. This arrangement allows high-resolution imaging and highly efficient event-by-event particle identification down to the MeV scale. With the...
Massive liquid Ar detectors are being built for the next generation of dark matter searches and neutrino physics. All these detectors exploit the scintillation light of Ar, which is usually assumed to be purely at 128 nm. Our spectral time-resolved analysis of the argon scintillation light revealed a substantial component in the 160 to 300 nm range, which is the dominant prompt emission with...
Noble liquid elements are excellent scintillators with high light yield in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectral range. The detection of this VUV scintillation light poses a considerable instrumentation challenge, as it requires highly sensitive photodetection systems in a range not covered by most of the commercially available sensors. Improving photon detection efficiency in noble liquid...
Huge volumes of liquid argon (LAr) are widely used today in particle and nuclear physics experiments, especially in the detection of weak interacting particles such as neutrinos (e.g. DUNE, SBND, ICARUS, ...) and dark matter (e.g. Darkside, ArDM, …). The characterisation of the liquid argon and the monitoring of the performance of the recirculation systems play a key role in ensuring the...
