High-Temperature Superconducting Level Meter for Liquid Argon Detectors
Capacitive devices are customarily used as probes to measure the level of noble liquids in detectors operated for neutrino studies and dark matter searches. In this work we describe the use of a high-temperature superconducting material as an alternative to control the level of a cryogenic noble liquid. Lab measurements indicate that the superconductor shows a linear behaviour, a high degree of...
متن کاملSupernova Relic Neutrinos in Liquid Argon detectors
We study the possibility of detecting the background of Supernova Relic Neutrinos (SRN) with liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detectors. As far as this study is concerned, these experimental devices are mainly sensitive to electron neutrino signals, and could provide further information on both Supernova explosion mechanism and star formation rate at redshifts z ≤ 1. We study in detai...
متن کاملCMOS Charge amplifier for liquid argon Time Projection Chamber detectors
1. INTRODUCTION We developed an integrated circuit (IC) for the readout of LAr (Liquid Argon) TPC (Time Projection Chamber) neutrino detectors. These detectors employ LAr simultaneously as massive target and detection medium. The detection of secondary particles produced in neutrino interactions is achieved by collecting, on a system of wires at the sides of the detector, the electric charges f...
متن کاملSuperconducting Magnets for Detectors
A Fermilab/KEK/University of Tskuba, Japan collaboration is designing a large superconducting solenoid for the Fermilab Collider Detector Facility (CDF). A review of the status of other superconducting solenoids built for colliding beams machines is presented and progress on the design of the CDF magnet is discussed. Two types of superconducting coils appear to be feasible; a bath-cooled cryost...
متن کاملHigh Temperature Behaviour of Positrons in Argon
When a swarm of positrons is introduced into a gaseous assembly, there are many processes by which the positrons can arrive at their eventual annihilation fate. Depending on the energy, some positrons form positronium prior to annihilation. However, when the energy is less than the positronium formation threshold, Eth (9 eV for argon, 17.8 eV for helium, etc.), then only elastic collisions are ...
