Description

Liquefied noble gases have become a technology of choice for a number of dark matter and neutrino experiments. The successful operation of such experiments relies on stable high voltage being delivered and held on a cathode surface in the liquid. New and proposed detectors are pushing the bounds of understanding and stable operation. This talk will motivate the R&D active in this area and highlight some of the issues and challenges involved.
