Analysis of the liquid Argon purity in the ICARUS T600 TPC
No full textThe results reported in this paper are based on the analysis of the data recorded with the first half-module of the
ICARUS T600 liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC), during a technical run that took place on surface in
Pavia (Italy). We include results from the linearity, uniformity and calibration of the electronics, measurements on the
electron drift velocity in LAr at different electric fields, as well as the LAr purity achievement of the detector. Two
complementary techniques were used to measure the drift electron lifetime inside the active volume: the first, from the
data of a purity monitor, gives a measurement localized in space; the second, based on the study of the signals produced
by long minimum ionizing tracks crossing the detector, provides a LAr volume averaged value. Both methods yield
consistent results over the whole data taking period and are compatible with an uniform LAr purity over the whole
volume. The maximal drift electron lifetime value was recorded before the run stop and was about 1:8 ms: From an
interpretation of the observed drift electron lifetime as a function of time, we conclude that the adopted technology
would allow for drift distances exceeding 3 m
