摘要: Abstract Detailed understanding of the ionization process in noble liquid detectors is important for their use applications such as search dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The response to low-energy events poorly understood at this time. We describe a new simulation tool which predicts yield from electronic energy deposits ( E 10 keV ) Ar, including dependence on applied electric drift field. signal produced argon detector 37Ar beta decay 55Fe X-rays has been calculated using model.
