Scintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector
The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...

An 800 l liquid xenon scintillation γ ray detector is being developed for the MEG experiment which will search for μ → eγ decay at the Paul Scherrer Institut. Absorption of scintillation light of xenon by impurities might possibly limit the performance of such a detector. We used a 100 l prototype with an active volume of 372×372×496 mm to study the scintillation light absorption. We have devel...
متن کاملPreparation of Neutron-activated Xenon for Liquid Xenon Detector Calibration
We report the preparation of neutron-activated xenon for the calibration of liquid xenon (LXe) detectors. Gamma rays from the decay of xenon metastable states, produced by fast neutron activation, were detected and their activities measured in a LXe scintillation detector. Following a five-day activation of natural xenon gas with a Cf (4× 10 n/s) source, the activities of two gamma ray lines at...
متن کاملDetection of Liquid Xenon Scintillation Light with a Silicon Photomultiplier
We have studied the feasibility of a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) to detect liquid xenon (LXe) scintillation light. The SiPM was operated inside a small volume of pure LXe, at -95C, irradiated with an internal Am α source. The gain of the SiPM at this temperature was estimated to be 1.8 × 10 with bias voltage at 52 V. Based on the geometry of the setup, the quantum efficiency of the SiPM was ...
متن کاملLower bounds on scintillation detector timing performance
Fundamental method-independent linuts on the timing performance of scintillation detectors are useful for identifying regimes in which either present timing methods are nearly optimal or where a considerable performance gain might be realized using better pulse processing techniques . Several types of lower bounds on mean-squared timing error (MSE) performance have been developed and applied to...
