Demonstration of the light collection stability of a PEN-based wavelength shifting reflector in a tonne scale liquid argon detector
V. Gupta, G. R. Araujo, M. Babicz +18
Liquid argon detectors rely on wavelength shifters for efficient detection of scintillation light. The current standard is tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB), but it is challenging to ins…
Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of poly(methyl methacrylate) compared to 1,1,4,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene down to 4 K
E. Ellingwood, H. Benmansour, Q. Hars +16
Several particle-physics experiments use poly(methyl methacrylate) (a.k.a. PMMA or acrylic) vessels to contain liquid scintillators. Superluminal charged particles emitted from rad…
In-situ characterization of the Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier tubes used in the DEAP-3600 experiment
DEAP Collaboration, P. -A. Amaudruz, M. Batygov +99
The Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier-tube (PMT) is a novel high-quantum efficiency PMT. It is currently used in the DEAP-3600 dark matter detector and is of significant interest…
