R&D for LAr + Xe + photosensitive dopants
ORAL
Abstract
LArTPCs are the technology of choice for current and future neutrino experiments. Expanding the reach of LArTPCs to below the 10 MeV range would substantially enhance the flagship analyses of experiments like DUNE, while potentially enabling the physics of solar neutrinos, dark matter searches, and neutrinoless double beta decay searches. I outline the pathway and progress on R&D for photosensitive dopants, whose introduction into the LAr active medium, has a potential to enable the detection of low energy signals in large LArTPCs. This R&D program will demonstrate the feasibility and impacts of introducing doped LAr into current and future neutrino detectors at the kTon scale.
