Pulse Shape Discrimination in liquid argon and its implications for Dark Matter searches using depleted argon
arXiv:1210.1019 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.43.1509
Abstract
A brief outline of Dark Matter detection experiments using liquid argon technology is presented. The Pulse Shape background discrimination method (PSD) is described and the example of its use in 2.3 l R&D detector is given. Methods of calculating sensitivity of a Dark Matter detector are discussed and used to estimate the possible improvement of sensitivity after introduction of isotopically depleted liquid argon.
