Performance of a 250L liquid Argon TPC for sub-GeV charged particle identification

Instrumentation and Detectors 2012-08-27 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We have constructed a liquid Argon TPC detector with fiducial mass of 150 kg as a part of the R&D program of the next generation neutrino and nucleon decay detector. This paper describes a study of particle identification performance of the detector using well-defined charged particles (pions, kaons, and protons) with momentum of ~800 MeV/cc obtained at J-PARC K1.1BR beamline.
