Calibration of calorimetric measurement in a liquid argon time projection chamber

Instrumentation and Detectors 2021-10-12 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The liquid argon time projection chamber provides high resolution event images and excellent calorimetric resolution for studying neutrino physics and searching for beyond standard model physics. In this article, we review the main physics processes that affect the detector response, including the electronics and field responses, space charge effects, electron attachment to impurities, diffusion and recombination. We describe methods to measure those effects, which are used to calibrate the detector response and convert the measured raw ADC counts to the original energy deposition.
