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...
متن کاملLiquid Argon Scintillation Light Quenching due to Nitrogen Impurities: Measurements performed for the MicroBooNE Vertical Slice Test
The neutrino experiment MicroBooNE is currently under construction. To expedite the physics output of MicroBooNE, a smaller version of its optical detection system has been implemented. To demonstrate full operability of this prototype, two physics measurements were performed. The first examines the number of scintillation light components, for although theory explains two components, other gro...
متن کاملA measurement of the absorption of liquid argon scintillation light by dissolved nitrogen at the part-per- million level
We report on a measurement of the absorption length of scintillation light in liquid argon due to dissolved nitrogen at the part-per-million (ppm) level. We inject controlled quantities of nitrogen into a high purity volume of liquid argon and monitor the light yield from an alpha source. The source is placed at different distances from a cryogenic photomultiplier tube assembly. By comparing th...
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 کاملDetermination of chemical and radiochemical purity of [14C] clozapine by high performance liquid chromatography and liquid scintillation [Persian]
Introduction: The mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. The effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. To further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14C] clozapine with suita...
