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…
Detectors and flux instrumentation for future neutrino facilities
T. Abe, H. Aihara, C. Andreopoulos +66
This report summarises the conclusions from the detector group of the International Scoping Study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-Beam neutrino facility. The baseline detect…
Performance Of A Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber Exposed To The WANF Neutrino Beam
F. Arneodo et al.
We present the results of the first exposure of a Liquid Argon TPC to a multi-GeV neutrino beam. The data have been collected with a 50 liters ICARUS-like chamber located between t…
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…
Detection of Noble Gas Scintillation Light with Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs)
R. Chandrasekharan, M. Messina, A. Rubbia
Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs) were used for a series of systematic measurements of the scintillation light in Ar, Kr, and Xe gas. Absolute quantum efficiencies are deri…
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…
