摘要
在本白皮书中，我们概述了在液氩时间投影室（LArTPC）探测器中探测和重建低能（低于 100 MeV）信号所涉及的一些科学机遇与挑战。关键要点总结如下：1）LArTPC 通过探测数十 MeV 及以下能区的事件特征，对一系列物理学和天体物理学信号具有独特的灵敏度。2）低能信号是 GeV 级加速器中微子相互作用末态的组成部分，其重建可以增强 LArTPC 实验的振荡物理灵敏度。3）来自加速器和自然源的超越标准模型（BSM）信号也在低能区产生多种信号，重建这些信号可以扩大基于 LArTPC 搜索所能触及的 BSM 场景范围。4）与亚百 MeV 级 LArTPC 信号相关的氩中中微子相互作用截面及其他核物理过程目前理解不足，需要改进的理论和实验测量。静止 pion 衰变源以及带电粒子和中子测试束流是实验上增进这一理解的理想设施。5）在低能区有特定的刻度需求，以及对放射性和宇宙射线本底进行控制和理解的特定需求。6）应探索能增强低能探测能力的未来 LArTPC 技术新思路，包括新型电荷增强和读出系统、增强型光子探测、低放射性氩以及氙掺杂。7）低能信号，无论是稳态的还是超新星爆发或更大 GeV 级事件拓扑的一部分，都有特定的触发、数据采集（DAQ）和重建要求，这些必须在传统 GeV 级数据收集和分析路径之外加以解决。
