The ArDM Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory: a ton-scale detector for Dark Matter Searches
ArDM Collaboration, J. Calvo, C. Cantini +20
The Argon Dark Matter (ArDM) experiment consists of a liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) sensitive to nuclear recoils resulting from scattering of hypothetical Weakly…
Status of ArDM-1t: First observations from operation with a full ton-scale liquid argon target
ArDM Collaboration, J. Calvo, C. Cantini +23
ArDM-1t is the first operating ton-scale liquid argon detector for direct search of Dark Matter particles. Developed at CERN as Recognized Experiment RE18, the experiment has been…
ArDM: first results from underground commissioning
A. Badertscher, F. Bay, N. Bourgeois +26
The Argon Dark Matter experiment is a ton-scale double phase argon Time Projection Chamber designed for direct Dark Matter searches. It combines the detection of scintillation ligh…
Performance of a 250L liquid Argon TPC for sub-GeV charged particle identification
PARC T32 collaboration, O. Araoka, A. Badertscher +38
We have constructed a liquid Argon TPC detector with fiducial mass of 150 kg as a part of the R&D program of the next generation neutrino and nucleon decay detector. This paper des…
First operation and drift field performance of a large area double phase LAr Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber with an immersed Greinacher high-voltage multiplier
A. Badertscher, A. Curioni, U. Degunda +11
We have operated a liquid-argon large-electron-multiplier time-projection chamber (LAr LEM-TPC) with a large active area of 76 40 cm and a drift length of 60 cm. This…
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 operation of a double phase LAr Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber with a two-dimensional projective readout anode
A. Badertscher, A. Curioni, L. Knecht +6
We have previously reported on the construction and successful operation of the novel double phase Liquid Argon Large Electron Multiplier Time Projection Chamber (LAr LEM-TPC). Thi…
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…
Towards a liquid Argon TPC without evacuation: filling of a 6 m^3 vessel with argon gas from air to ppm impurities concentration through flushing
A. Curioni, L. Epprecht, A. Gendotti +11
In this paper we present a successful experimental test of filling a volume of 6 m with argon gas, starting from normal ambient air and reducing the impurities content down to…
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…
