Studies with a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber : Addressing Technological Challenges of Large-Scale Detectors

Studies with a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber : Addressing Technological Challenges of Large-Scale Detectors /

Michael Schenk evaluates new technologies and methods, such as cryogenic read-out electronics and a UV laser system, developed to optimise the performance of large liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC). Amongst others, the author studies the uniformity of the electric field produced by a Gr...
