Space Charge Effects in Noble Liquid Calorimeters and Time Projection Chambers
arXiv:2102.06082 · doi:10.3390/instruments5010009
Abstract
The subject of space charge in ionization detectors is reviewed, showing how the observations and the formalism used to describe the effects have evolved, starting with applications to calorimeters and reaching recent, large-size time projection chambers. General scaling laws, and different ways to present and model the effects are presented. The relation between space-charge effects and the boundary conditions imposed on the side faces of the detector are discussed, together with a design solution that mitigates part of the effects. The implications of the relative size of drift length and transverse detector size are illustrated. Calibration methods are briefly discussed.
