摘要: A novel concept is proposed for large-volume single-phase noble-liquid TPC detectors rare events. Both radiation-induced scintillation-light and ionization-charge are detected by Liquid Hole-Multipliers, LHM, immersed in the noble liquid. The latter may consist of cascaded Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM), Thick Multiplier (THGEM) electrodes or others, coated with CsI UV-photocathodes. Electrons, photo-induced on primary scintillation liquid, event-correlated drifting ionization electrons amplified elements primarily through electroluminescence, possibly additional moderate avalanche, occurring within holes. resulting charge-signals light-pulses recorded anode pads photosensors, e.g. gaseous photomultipliers (GPM), respectively. Potential affordable solutions multi-ton dark-matter detectors; open questions formulated validating this dream.
