A method to suppress dielectric breakdowns in liquid argon ionization detectors for cathode to ground distances of several millimeters

Abstract

We present a method to reach electric field intensity as high as 400 kV/cm in liquid argon for cathode-ground distances of several millimeters. This can be achieved by suppressing field emission from the cathode, overcoming limitations that we reported earlier.
