In recent years, functional fluidic and gas electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps have received
considerable attention due to their remarkable features, such as simple structure, quiet …

DEAP-3600 is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) direct-detection dark matter experiment,
operating 2 km underground at SNOLAB (Sudbury, Canada). The detector consists of 3279 …

We review studies of surface-interaction mechanisms for a surface microdischarge (SMD)
and an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) with model polymers and biomolecules in …

A dedicated test of the effects of Oxygen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed
at the INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within the WArP R&D program. Two …

Cosmological observations and the dynamics of the Milky Way provide ample evidence for
an invisible and dominant mass component. This so-called dark matter could be made of …

Tetraphenyl-butadiene is the wavelength shifter most widely used in combination with liquid
argon. The latter emits scintillation photons with a wavelength of 127 nm that need to be …

To optimise the design of the light readout in the ArDM 1-ton liquid argon dark matter
detector, a range of reflector and WLS coating combinations were investigated in several …

DEAP-3600 is a liquid-argon scintillation detector looking for dark matter. Scintillation events
in the liquid argon (LAr) are registered by 255 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and pulseshape …

For the first time secondary scintillation, generated within the holes of a thick gas electron
multiplier (THGEM) immersed in liquid argon, has been observed and measured using a …

Abstract The Argon Dark Matter experiment is a ton-scale double phase argon Time
Projection Chamber designed for direct Dark Matter searches. It combines the detection of …
