  1. Liquid Argon

    Linked via "argon molecules"

    Ionization and Scintillation Yield
    When high-energy particles traverse liquid argon/), they generate ionization electrons and excited argon molecules (excimers). The primary scintillation light emission occurs when these excimers decay, yielding photons predominantly in the ultraviolet range ($\sim 128 \text{ nm}$).
    The light yield ($\text{LY}$) of pure $\text{LAr}$ is significant, though generally surpassed by liquid xenon ($\text{LXe}$). The relationship between charge yield ($Q$) an…
