Description
Liquid argon (LAr) technology has emerged as one of the most widely used detection media in astroparticle physics, offering exceptional scalability and outstanding scintillation and ionization yields. Its versatility enables a broad scientific program ranging from neutrino physics and dark matter searches to future applications in MeV gamma astronomy. The intrinsic purity, self-shielding capability, and precise event reconstruction achievable in large dual-phase time projection chambers make LAr an ideal medium for rare-event detection at unprecedented scales. In addition, recent R&D on xenon doping is revealing enhanced performance, thereby increasing sensitivity to light dark matter interactions and opening new avenues for next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.
