Abstract The Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) is a robust high-gain gas-avalanche
electron multiplier–a building block of a variety of radiation detectors. It can be manufactured …

Liquid Argon (LAr) is one of the most widely used scintillators in particle detection, due to its
low cost, high availability and excellent scintillation properties. A large number of …

We present evidence of non-excimer-based secondary scintillation in gaseous xenon,
obtained using both the NEXT-White time projection chamber (TPC) and a dedicated setup …

Electroluminescence and electron avalanching are the physical effects used in two-phase
argon and xenon detectors for dark matter searches and neutrino detection, to amplify the …

A double-phase argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC), with an active mass of 185 g, has
been designed and constructed for the Recoil Directionality (ReD) experiment. The aim of …

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) is the physical effect used in two-phase dark matter
detectors, to optically record in the gas phase the ionization signal produced by particle …

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) is the physical effect used in two-phase detectors for
dark matter searches, to optically record (in the gas phase) the ionization signal produced by …

Traditionally, it has been assumed that electroluminescence (EL) in time projection
chambers was purely an excimer-based emission. This idea changed when neutral …

Silicon photomultiplier is considered a substitute for traditional photomultiplier tube in the
next generation of dark matter and neutrino detectors, especially in noble gas detectors like …

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is a physical process routinely used
in two-phase (liquid–gas) detectors for low-energy astroparticle-physics experiments. In this …
