TLDR
In this article, electron recombination in liquid argon (LAr) has been studied by means of charged particle tracks collected in various ICARUS LAr TPC prototypes and the dependence of the recombination on the particle stopping power has been fitted with a Birks functional dependence.
Abstract
Electron recombination in liquid argon (LAr) is studied by means of charged particle tracks collected in various ICARUS liquid argon TPC prototypes. The dependence of the recombination on the particle stopping power has been fitted with a Birks functional dependence. The simulation of the process of electron recombination in Monte Carlo calculations is discussed. A quantitative comparison with previously published data is carried out.

Design, construction and tests of the ICARUS T600 detector

S. Amerio, +139 more
TL;DR: The ICARUS T600 liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) is the largest LAr TPC ever built, with a size of about 500 tons of fully imaging mass as mentioned in this paper.

Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), Far Detector Technical Design Report, Volume II: DUNE Physics

B. Abi, +959 more
TL;DR: The Dune experiment as discussed by the authors is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model.

Initial Recombination of Ions

TL;DR: In the absence of forces other than the Coulomb attraction, the probability of escape equals the reciprocal of the Boltzmann factor as discussed by the authors, which is the proper procedure whenever the Langevin factor equals unity, as in gases at high pressures.

International thermodynamic tables of the fluid state. 5. Methane

TL;DR: The main part of as discussed by the authors is concerned with the preparation of an equation of state from the available experimental data, and with the density integrals resulting from it, which form the various X/sub 2/(p,T).
