Abstract:This work presents the calibration for a 14.6 m-high cryogenic distillation column which is performed using argon. This column is located at SNOLAB, an underground lab in Canada, and it is planned to study the potential of using distillation for xenon isotopic enrichment. Our study yields a measurement of the still's height equivalent to theoretical plate (HETP) of 4.29±0.13 cm, consistent with a previous study using the same packing material. A new approach introduced in this analysis achieves a smaller error… Show more
