Scintillation efficiency of liquid argon in low energy neutron-argon scattering
W. Creus, Y. Allkofer, C. Amsler +4
Experiments searching for weak interacting massive particles with noble gases such as liquid argon require very low detection thresholds for nuclear recoils. A determination of the…
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…
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…
Performance studies of the CMS Strip Tracker before installation
CMS Tracker Collaboration
In March 2007 the assembly of the Silicon Strip Tracker was completed at the Tracker Integration Facility at CERN. Nearly 15% of the detector was instrumented using cables, fiber o…
Luminescence quenching of the triplet excimer state by air traces in gaseous argon
C. Amsler, V. Boccone, A. Buchler +3
While developing a liquid argon detector for dark matter searches we investigate the influence of air contamination on the VUV scintillation yield in gaseous argon at atmospheric p…
