Studies of Electron Avalanche Behavior in Liquid Argon
Electron avalanching in liquid argon is being studied as a function of voltage, pressure, radiation intensity, and the concentrations of certain additives, especially xenon. The avalanches produced in an intense electric field at the tip of a tungsten needle are initiated by ionization from a movable americium (Am) gamma-ray source. Photons from xenon excimers are detected as photomultiplier si...
متن کاملElectron scattering and transport in liquid argon.
The transport of excess electrons in liquid argon driven out of equilibrium by an applied electric field is revisited using a multi-term solution of Boltzmann's equation together with ab initio liquid phase cross-sections calculated using the Dirac-Fock scattering equations. The calculation of liquid phase cross-sections extends previous treatments to consider multipole polarisabilities and a n...
متن کاملElectron Neutrino Classification in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber Detector
Neutrinos are one of the least known elementary particles. The detection of neutrinos is an extremely difficult task since they are affected only by weak sub-atomic force or gravity. Therefore large detectors are constructed to reveal neutrino’s properties. Among them the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) detectors provide excellent imaging and particle identification ability for s...
متن کاملPurity Monitor Studies in Medium Liquid Argon TPC
This paper is an attempt to describe some of the results that had been found through a journey of study in the field of particle physics. This study consists of two parts, one about the measurement of the cross section of the decay of the Z particle in two electrons, and the other deals with the measurement of the cross section of the multi-photon absorption process using a beam of Laser in the...
متن کاملMagnetized liquid Argon detector for electron charge sign discrimination
A liquid Argon time projection chamber (TPC) immersed in magnetic field is proposed for systematic study and parameter optimisation in electron/muon charge sign discrimination and muon momentum determination by magnetic deflection. Design criteria and preliminary calculation are described. A proof of principle experiment is proposed using an electron beam of 1-10 GeV/c momentum incident on a pr...
