Development of wavelength shifter coated reflectors for the ArDM argon dark matter detector (2009)
Lightfoot, P. K., Mavrokoridis, K., Regenfus, C., Amsler, C., Badertscher, A., ...
To optimise the design of the light readout in the ArDM 1-ton liquid argon dark matter detector, a range of reflector and WLS coating combinations were investigated in several small setups, where...
Lightfoot, P. K., Barker, G. J., Mavrokoridis, K., Ramachers, Y. A., Spooner, N. J. C.
For the first time secondary scintillation, generated within the holes of a thick gas electron multiplier (TGEM) immersed in liquid argon, has been observed and measured using a silicon...
Lightfoot, P. K., Barker, G. J., Mavrokoridis, K., Ramachers, Y. A., Spooner, N. J. C.
The performance of a silicon photomultiplier has been assessed at low temperature in order to evaluate its suitability as a scintillation readout device in liquid argon particle physics detectors....
Measurements of neutrons produced by high-energy muons at the Boulby Underground Laboratory (2008)
Araujo, H. M., Blockley, J., Bungau, C., Carson, M. J., Chagani, H., Daw, E., ...
We present the first measurements of the muon-induced neutron flux at the Boulby Underground Laboratory. The experiment was carried out with an 0.73 tonne liquid scintillator that also served as an...

A Proposal for a Detector 2 km Away From the T2K Neutrino Source (2005)
Kearns, E., Litos, M., Raaf, J., Stone, J., Sulak, L.R., Bouchez, J., ...
We propose building a detector site 2km from the neutrino production point of the the T2K experiment. At this distance, almost the same neutrino flux is measured as that seen at Super-K 295 km away....
