Title: Operation of a LAr-TPC equipped with a multilayer LEM charge readout

Abstract

A novel detector for ionization signals in a single phase LAr-TPC has been experimented in the ICARINO test facility at the INFN Laboratories in Legnaro. It is based on the adoption of a multilayer Large Electron Multiplier (LEM) replacing the traditional anodic wire arrays. Cosmic muon tracks were detected allowing the measurement of energy deposition and a first determination of the signal to noise ratio. The analysis of the recorded events thus demonstrated the 3D reconstruction capability of this device for ionizing events in liquid Argon. The collected fraction of ionization charge is close to about 90%, with signal to noise ratio similar to that measured with more traditional wire chambers.

Exclusive muon neutrino charged current pion-less topologies. ArgoNeuT results and future prospects in LAr TPC detectors

Journal Article Palamara, Ornella - JPS Conference Proceedings

Results from the analysis of charged current pion-less (CC 0-pion) muon neutrino events in argon collected by the ArgoNeuT experiment on the NuMI beam at Fermilab are presented and compared with predictions from Monte Carlo simulations. A novel analysis method, based on the reconstruction of exclusive topologies, fully exploiting the Liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) technique capabilities, is used to analyze the events, characterized by the presence at the vertex of a leading muon track eventually accompanied by one or more highly ionizing tracks, and study nuclear effects in neutrino interactions on argon nuclei.

Cold electronics readout system for protoDUNE-SP LAr-TPC

Journal Article Chen, Hucheng ; Fried, Jack ; Gao, Shanshan ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Single Phase (SP) TPC readout electronics are referred to as the Cold Electronics (CE) because they will operate in LAr, to minimize channel capacitance and noise by keeping the length of the connection between the anode wires and its corresponding electronics input to an absolute minimum. In this study, the CE system and preliminary results from the CE testing at warm and cold conditions after their installation on the protoDUNE-SP detector are presented.

The Pandora multi-algorithm approach to automated pattern recognition in LAr TPC detectors

Technical Report MicroBooNE,

Pattern recognition is the identification of structures and regularities in data. In high energy physics, it is a vital stage in the reconstruction of events recorded by fine-granularity detectors. The development and operation of Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr TPCs) for neutrino physics has created a need for new approaches to pattern recognition, in order to fully exploit the superb imaging capabilities offered by this technology. Whereas the human brain excels at identifying features in the recorded events, it is a significant challenge to develop an automated solution. The Pandora Software Development Kit (SDK) provides functionality to aid themore »« less

The scintillation light detection system of ICARUS-T600: Hardware implementation and early results

Journal Article Babicz, M. ; Badgett, W. ; Benocci, R. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Here, the ICARUS-T600 Liquid Argon (LAr) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is taking data with the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam-line (BNB) in the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program to search for a possible LSND-like sterile neutrino signal. A light detection system, based on 360 Hamamatsu R5912-MOD Photo-Multiplier Tubes (PMTs) deployed behind the TPC wire chambers, has been realized to detect vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons produced by ionizing particles in LAr. This system is fundamental for the detector operation, providing an efficient trigger and contributing to the 3D reconstruction of events. Moreover, since the TPC is exposed to a huge flux ofmore »« less

Event Reconstruction in LAr-TPC

Journal Article Palamara, O - AIP Conference Proceedings

We discuss the status-of-the-art in the development of the off-line reconstruction of ionizing event in LAr-TPC. An overview, from 'easy' to progressively more complicated topologies reconstruction is presented. Outcomes from the reconstruction of events collected during the exposure of the ICARUS T600 LAr-TPC to cosmic rays and the exposure of the ArgoNeuT LAr-TPC to low energy neutrinos provides the main subject of this paper.
