摘要:
大型双相液氩时间投影室(LArTPC)的光学读出是电荷读出的一种有吸引力的替代方案,已在CERN的protoDUNE冷箱内一个2×2米的有源区域上得到成功验证。ARIADNE+使用四台Timepix3相机,对16个新型的、处于专利申请阶段的玻璃THGEM(厚气体电子倍增器)产生的S2光进行成像。ARIADNE+利用了Timepix3的原始数据,这些数据天然具备三维特性、经零抑制处理且具有1.6纳秒的时间分辨率。四个THGEM象限中的三个通过波长位移实现可见光范围的读出,第四个则配备真空紫外(VUV)光增强器,从而完全无需波长位移。研究完成了宇宙线重建和能量校准工作。本文总结了探测器的设置与实验运行情况,给出了运行数据的初步分析,并展望了ARIADNE项目的未来方向。
英文摘要:
Optical readout of large scale dual-phase liquid Argon TPCs is an attractive alternative to charge readout and has been successfully demonstrated on a 2x2m active region within the CERN protoDUNE cold box. ARIADNE+ uses four Timepix3 cameras imaging the S2 light produced by 16 novel, patent pending, glass THGEMs. ARIADNE+ takes advantage of the raw Timepix3 data coming natively 3D and zero suppressed with a 1.6ns timing resolution. Three of the four THGEM quadrants implement readout in the visible light range through wavelength shifting, with the fourth featuring a VUV light intensifier, thus removing the need for wavelength shifting altogether. Cosmic ray reconstruction and energy calibration was performed. Presented is a summary of the detector setup and experimental run, preliminary analysis of the run data and future outlook for the ARIADNE program.
