“…It is also the best choice, apart from the price, for low energy, low background experiments, where radiopurity is of prime importance. In fact, xenon is free of long living isotopes whereas natural argon has 39 Ar and 42 Ar ␤-emitting radioisotopes with half lives of 269 and 33 years, respectively. Although the concentration of these isotopes in natural argon is of the order of 10 y21 grg w x 36,37 , it can become a disturbing source of background for experiments searching for very rare events, especially if these events involve a small deposition of energy in the detector medium, as it is the case of the direct detection of dark matter.…”

In past years, liquid rare gas detectors LRGD have made a considerable progress and found application in various fields of research, such as high energy experiments, astrophysics, search for rare processes and medical imaging. This review paper starts by a short summary and discussion of the properties of liquid rare ( ) gases LRG that make them attractive as radiation detector media. Next, the two best-established technologies based on liquid rare gases, electromagnetic calorimeters and time projection chambers, are briefly reviewed along with their main applications. The bulk of the paper is focused on the challenging development of LRGD for the search of rare processes in low background experiments with an emphasis on those dealing with the direct detection of dark matter. The challenges posed by those experiments, the detectors proposed and their present status of development are described. A brief review of the proposals of using LRGD for medical imaging is outlined and the present status of some of the more significant developments under way is presented.Index Terms -Liquid xenon, liquid argon, liquid krypton, particle detectors, liquid rare gases, gamma-ray detectors, radiation detectors, liquid detectors, dielectric liquids. 1070-9878r r r r r1r r r r r$17.00 ᮊ 2003 IEEE 994 IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Vol. 10, No. 6; December 2003 995 LRGD for the search of rare processes in low background experiments with special emphasis on the direct detection of dark matter.

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located several hundred meters from the ATLAS interaction point and shielded by concrete and rock, will host a suite of experiments to probe standard model (SM) processes and search for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). In this report, we review the status of the civil engineering plans and the experiments to explore the diverse physics signals that can be uniquely probed in the forward region. FPF experiments will be sensitive to a broad range of BSM physics through searches for new particle scattering or decay signatures and deviations from SM expectations in high statistics analyses with TeV neutrinos in this low-background environment. High statistics neutrino detection will also provide valuable data for fundamental topics in perturbative and non-perturbative QCD and in weak interactions. Experiments at the FPF will enable synergies between forward particle production at the LHC and astroparticle physics to be exploited. We report here on these physics topics, on infrastructure, detector, and simulation studies, and on future directions to realize the FPF’s physics potential.
