New candidate polymeric wavelength shifters for noble liquid detectors
M. Kuźniak, S. Choudhary, S. PawÅowski +8
Polymeric wavelength shifters are of particular interest for large liquid argon detectors. Inspired by the success of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), other new polymers exhibiting…
FAT-GEMs: (Field Assisted) Transparent Gaseous-Electroluminescence Multipliers
S. Leardini, A. Sáa-Hernández, M. Kuźniak +12
The idea of implementing electroluminescence-based amplification through transparent multi-hole structures (FAT-GEMs) has been entertained for some time. Arguably, for such a techn…
Cryogenic setup for the characterization of wavelength-shifting materials for noble element radiation detectors
S. Choudhary, A. F. V. Cortez, M. Kuźniak +4
In the present work, we describe a cryogenic setup for studies of wavelength-shifting materials for optimised light collection in noble element radiation detectors, and discuss the…
Production of GEM-like structures for cryogenic applications, using laser-cutting techniques
D. Rodas-RodrÃguez, A. F. V. Cortez, M. Kuźniak +16
A novel concept for electroluminescence (EL) structures was recently proposed. In it, a wavelength-shifting material is deposited inside the holes of GEM-like structures which, aft…
Production of GEM-like structures using laser-cutting techniques
L. M. Ramos, A. F. V. Cortez, M. Kuźniak +5
To enhance the ionization yield of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC) used in dark matter and neutrino experiments it was proposed the use of dopants in LAr, with ioniz…
Direct comparison of PEN and TPB wavelength shifters in a liquid argon detector
M. G. Boulay, V. Camillo, N. Canci +26
A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distan…
