摘要: We have built a gas-phase argon ionization detector to measure small nuclear recoil energies (< 10 keVee). In this paper, we describe the response X-ray and gamma calibration sources, including analysis of pulse shapes, software triggers, optimization gas content, energy- position-dependence signal. compare our experimental results against simulation using 5.9-keV source, as well higher-energy sources up 1332 keV. conclude with description detector, DAQ, settings optimized for measurement low-energy quenching factor in gaseous argon.
