ArDM: a ton-scale LAr detector for direct Dark Matter searches
ArDM Collaboration, A. Marchionni, C. Amsler +41
The Argon Dark Matter (ArDM-1t) experiment is a ton-scale liquid argon (LAr) double-phase time projection chamber designed for direct Dark Matter searches. Such a device allows to…
First results on light readout from the 1-ton ArDM liquid argon detector for dark matter searches
C. Amsler, A. Badertscher, V. Boccone +38
ArDM-1t is the prototype for a next generation WIMP detector measuring both the scintillation light and the ionization charge from nuclear recoils in a 1-ton liquid argon target. T…
Feasibility of high-voltage systems for a very long drift in liquid argon TPCs
S. Horikawa, A. Badertscher, L. Kaufmann +5
Designs of high-voltage (HV) systems for creating a drift electric field in liquid argon TPCs are reviewed. In ongoing experiments systems capable of approx. 100 kV are realised fo…
The ArDM experiment
ArDM Collaboration, C. Amsler, A. Badertscher +51
The aim of the ArDM project is the development and operation of a one ton double-phase liquid argon detector for direct Dark Matter searches. The detector measures both the scintil…
Operation of a double-phase pure argon Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber: comparison of single and double phase operation
A. Badertscher, L. Knecht, M. Laffranchi +7
We constructed and operated a double phase (liquid-vapour) pure argon Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber (LAr LEM-TPC) with a sensitive area of 10x10 cm and up t…
Construction and operation of a Double Phase LAr Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber
A. Badertscher, L. Knecht, M. Laffranchi +5
We successfully operated a novel kind of LAr Time Projection Chamber based on a Large Electron Multiplier (LEM) readout system. The prototype, of about 3 liters active volume, is o…
