AI总结:
Proto-0原型用于验证DarkSide-20k实验关键技术和电荷提取机制,通过单相调试和闪烁光产量测量实现低背景运行目标。
摘要:
DarkSide-20k实验目前正在意大利地下核子实验室(LNGS)建设,将采用下一代双相液氩时间投影室(TPC)与基于硅光电倍增管(SiPM)的光电探测单元和低背景材料,以实现雄心勃勃的目标,即在仪器背景接近零的情况下运行。Proto-0是一个小型双相氩TPC,位于意大利国家研究所(INFN)那不勒斯,旨在验证DarkSide-20k关键技术在真实探测器环境中的整合,并研究电荷提取和电致发光信号形成。在本文中,我们报告了Proto-0的早期运行及其单相调试。我们专注于使用外部和内部校准源测量闪烁光产量。
英文摘要:
The DarkSide-20k experiment, currently under construction at LNGS, will employ a next-generation dual-phase liquid-argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with SiPM-based Photon Detector Units and low-background materials to achieve the ambitious goal of operating with an instrumental background close to zero. Proto-0 is a small-scale dual-phase argon TPC operated at INFN Naples, designed to validate the integration of DarkSide-20k key technologies in a realistic detector environment and to study charge extraction and electroluminescence signal formation. In this short paper we report on the early operation of Proto-0 and its single-phase commissioning. We focus on the measurement of the scintillation light yield using external and internal calibration sources.
