Liquid noble gas detectors for low energy particle physics

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We review the current status of liquid noble gas radiation detectors with energy threshold in the keV range, which are of interest for direct dark matter searches, measurement of coherent neutrino scattering and other low energy particle physics experiments. Emphasis is given to the operation principles and the most important instrumentation aspects of these detectors, principally of those operated in the double-phase mode. Recent technological advances and relevant developments in photon detection and charge readout are discussed in the context of their applicability to those experiments.

“…At liquid densities the electronic levels form a band-like structure and the eVective ionization potential may become the low-energy limit of the conduction band. As examples, we mention that at the triple point of xenon the eVective ionization potential is only 9.2 eV (to be compared to 12.2 eV in the gas) [193], and for argon at the triple point an ionization potential of 14 eV has been quoted (to be compared to 15.755 eV) [129]. A whole range of high-lying excited states is thus removed at liquid densities [129].…”

We review recent attempts to elucidate the phenomenon of sonoluminescence in terms of fundamental principles. We focus mainly on the processes which generate the light, but other relevant facts, such as the bubble dynamics, must also be considered for the understanding of the physics involved. Our emphasis is on single bubble sonoluminescence which in recent years has received much attention, but we also look at some of the excellent work on multiple bubble sonoluminescence and its spectral characteristics for clues. The weakly ionized gas models were recently studied most thoroughly and are remarkably successful when combined with a hydrodynamic bubble model, in terms of reproducing observed spectral shapes, intensities, optical pulse widths and the dependencies of these observables on the experimental parameters. Other radiation models, such as proton tunnelling radiation and the con ned electron model, were not combined with hydrodynamic models and/or have freely adjustable parameters so that their relevance to sonoluminescence studies is at present less critically tested.

“…In high polariz ability liquids, like LXe, it can be appreciably below than that in a gaseous phase [12]. Conversely, in dense He with weakly polarizable atoms the ionization threshold always exceeds that of GHe [13,14].…”

Electronic transport coefficients and electric breakdown in condensed helium

The kinetic Boltzmann equation is applied to determine the electron energy distribution function in condensed helium over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Account is taken of all the effects influ encing the electron kinetics in dense media. The electron multiplication rates and basic electron transport coefficients in condensed helium at atmospheric and elevated pressures have been determined. Starting from the streamer theory, the limiting breakdown characteristics of condensed helium are calculated. The theoret ical findings are compared with available experimental data. For liquid helium the long standing fundamen tal problem is first solved of the intrinsic dielectric strength determined exclusively by the electron processes in a liquid itself rather than in gaseous bubbles formed at the prebreakdown stage. Comparison with experi mental data allows also answering the question of how the voltage application duration and contaminants affect the breakdown characteristics of liquid helium.
