      Electron lifetime detector for liquid argon 

      Carugno, G.; Dainese, B.; Pietropaolo, F.; Ptohos, Fotios (1990)
      A method has been developed for a fast and reproducible measurement of the electronegative contamination of liquid argon. The method is based on the transport of electrons extracted by a NdYag UV laser beam from a metallic ...

      A study of the electron image due to ionizing events in a two-dimensional liquid argon TPC with a 24 cm drift gap 

      Bonetti, S.; Braggiotti, A.; Buckley, E.; Campanella, M.; Carugno, G.; Cecchet, G.; Cennini, P.; Centro, S.; Ciocio, A.; Cittolin, S.; Dainese, B.; Ferro-Luzzi, M.; Gasparini, F.; Gonidec, A.; Manfredi, P. F.; Meroni, E.; Muñoz, R.; Perreau, J. -M; Pietropaolo, F.; Ptohos, Fotios; Ragusa, F.; Rossi, P.; Rubbia, C.; Schinzel, D.; Schmidt, W. F.; Seidl, W. (1990)
      We have tested a liquid argon time projection chamber with a novel wire configuration based on electrostatic focussing which allows the realization of a nondestructive detection of the electron image produced by ionizing ...
