研究目的
Exploring long-standing questions about the boundaries of the standard model and providing valuable timing information for event reconstruction in the DUNE photon detection system.
研究成果
The version of the baseline design manufactured by MIT and the EJ-280 light guides with TPB-coated radiator plates proved to be the most promising designs in this experiment. Further tests are planned to explore the repeatability of the MIT recipe and manufacturing technique for the baseline design. The analysis of scintillation light from cosmic-ray muons in xenon-doped LAr indicates it is possible to shorten the triplet Ar?2 signal to less than 200 ns, which may be of value to a large LAr TPC like the DUNE far detector.
研究不足
The turbomolecular pump attached to the TallBo dewar malfunctioned during evacuation prior to the Phase 2 fill, potentially affecting the results. The exact impact of this event on the results is unknown.
