A measurement of the absorption of liquid argon scintillation light by dissolved nitrogen at the part-per-million level

A measurement of the absorption of liquid argon scintillation light by dissolved nitrogen at the part-per-million level

We report on a measurement of the absorption length of scintillation light in liquid argon due to dissolved nitrogen at the part-per-million (ppm) level. We inject controlled quantities of nitrogen into a high purity volume of liquid argon and monitor the light yield from an alpha source. The source...
