Measurement of the two-photon absorption cross-section of liquid argon with a time projection chamber
Abstract
This paper reports on laser-induced multiphoton ionization at 266 nm of liquid argon in a time projection chamber (LAr TPC) detector. The electron signal produced by the laser beam is a formidable tool for the calibration and monitoring of next-generation large-mass LAr TPCs. The detector that we designed and tested allowed us to measure the two-photon absorption cross-section of LAr with unprecedented accuracy and precision: sigmaex=(1.24 0.10stat 0.30syst) 10-56 cm4s-1.
