Abstract:Liquid Argon (LAr) Time Projection Chambers (TPC) operating in double-phase can detect the
nuclear recoils (NR) possibly caused by the elastic scattering of WIMP dark matter particles via
light signals from both scintillation and ionization processes. In the scenario of a low-mass
WIMP (< 2 GeV/c2), the energy range for the NRs would be below 20 keV, thus making it crucial
to characterize the ionization response in LAr TPCs as the lone available detection channel at
such low energy. The Recoil D… Show more
