TPB-coated Light Guides for Liquid Argon TPC Light Detection Systems

Speaker

Christina Ignarra (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Description

I will discuss work on a system for light detection in Liquid Argon TPCs utilizing acrylic lightguides coated with a thin fim of TPB embedded in acryic. This system provides solutions to some of the issues we expect to face when scaling existing light collection systems to the scale of future detectors. While there is still room for improvement, we show that the current results are sufficient for triggering in a large detector.
