ARIADNE is a 1-ton (330 kg fiducial mass) dual-phase liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) featuring novel optical readout. Four electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) cameras are mounted externally, and these capture the secondary scintillation light produced in holes of thick electron gas multiplier (THGEM). Track reconstruction using this readout approach demonstrated. Optical has potential to be cost effective alternative charge future LArTPCs. In paper, technical...
Abstract The Muon g -2 Experiment at Fermilab uses a gaseous straw tracking detector to make detailed measurements of the stored muon beam profile, which are essential for experiment achieve its uncertainty goals. Positrons from decays spiral inward and pass through before striking an electromagnetic calorimeter. is therefore located inside vacuum chamber in region where magnetic field large non-uniform. As such, must have low leak rate maintain high-quality vacuum, be non-magnetic so as not...
ARIADNE is a 1-ton dual-phase Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with novel optical readout. The secondary scintillation light produced in the holes of THick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) captured by Multiplying Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) cameras or fast TPX3Cams mounted externally via glass viewports. Optical readout has potential to be cost effective alternative charge future LArTPCs. First ever images argon interactions from operation detector at CERN T9 testbeam are presented. 3D track...
