Argon Purification Studies and a Novel Liquid Argon Re-circulation System

K. Mavrokoridis, R. G. Calland, J. Coleman +4

Future giant liquid argon (LAr) time projection chambers (TPCs) require a purity of better than 0.1 parts per billion (ppb) to allow the ionised electrons to drift without signific…

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…

Optical readout tracking detector concept using secondary scintillation from liquid argon generated by a thick gas electron multiplier

P. K. Lightfoot, G. J. Barker, K. Mavrokoridis +2

For the first time secondary scintillation, generated within the holes of a thick gas electron multiplier (TGEM) immersed in liquid argon, has been observed and measured using a si…
