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…
Large underground, liquid based detectors for astro-particle physics in Europe: scientific case and prospects
D. Autiero, J. Aysto, A. Badertscher +68
This document reports on a series of experimental and theoretical studies conducted to assess the astro-particle physics potential of three future large-scale particle detectors pr…
The ArDM project: a Liquid Argon TPC for Dark Matter Detection
M. Laffranchi, A. Rubbia
WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) are considered the main candidates for Cold Dark Matter. The ArDM experiment aims at measuring signals directly induced by WIMPs in liq…
First results from a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber in a Magnetic Field
A. Badertscher, M. Laffranchi, A. Meregaglia +2
A small liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) was operated for the first time in a magnetic field of 0.55 Tesla. The imaging properties of the detector were not affected b…
First operation of a liquid Argon TPC embedded in a magnetic field
A. Badertscher, M. Laffranchi, A. Meregaglia +1
We have operated for the first time a liquid Argon TPC immersed in a magnetic field up to 0.55 T. We show that the imaging properties of the detector are not affected by the presen…
