Performance of a liquid argon time projection chamber exposed to the CERN West Area Neutrino Facility neutrino beam

Abstract: We present the results of the first exposure of a Liquid Argon TPC to a multi-GeV neutrino beam. The data have been collected with a 50 liters ICARUS-like chamber located between the CHORUS and NOMAD experiments at the CERN West Area Neutrino Facility (WANF). We discuss both the instrumental performance of the detector and its capability to identify and reconstruct low-multiplicity neutrino interactions.

“…In all the panels we observe that the behaviour of the HFB results is quite smooth, while that of the HF+BCS calculations is less regular. In general, the HF+BCS results are closer to the experimental values than HF results except for 18 O, 20 O, 42 Ca, 44 Ca, 50 Ni, 70 Ni, 72 Ni and 92 Mo. Furthermore, HFB calculations are in better agreement with the experiment than our HF+BCS calculations that show again the effects of a smaller pairing.…”

“…In panel (a), we observe some differences with the experimental data in 18 O and 20 O that are both overbound, and in 26 O which is, on the opposite, underbound. For the calcium isotopes, panel (b), our HF+BCS results overbind 42 Ca and 44 Ca. In the nickel chain, panel (c), we find a small underbinding in the isotopes between the 56 Ni and 68 Ni, while 50 Ni, 70 Ni and 72 Ni are overbound.…”

“…Liquefied noble gases, such as argon or xenon, are becoming more and more popular media for ionization particle detectors to be employed in high energy physics [1], neutrino physics [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], dark matter search experiments [9][10][11][12] and other applications in particle and astroparticle physics. The required target (detector) mass gradually increases with the precision of the experiments.…”

“…In the 1990s, the ICARUS-Milano Collaboration pioneered the use of LAr TPCs as neutrino detectors with the exposure of a 50 liter chamber [64] on the CERN West Area Neutrino Facility. The front-end electronics [65] were based on JFETs operated in LAr close to the readout wires, which minimized the preamplifier input capacitance due to the absence of long readout cables.…”
