Study and mitigation of spurious electron emission from cathodic wires in noble liquid time projection chambers

A. Tomás, H. M. Araújo, A. J. Bailey +4

Noble liquid radiation detectors have long been afflicted by spurious electron emission from their cathodic electrodes. This phenomenon must be understood and mitigated in the next…
