Measurement of the longitudinal diffusion of ionization electrons in the MicroBooNE detector
Measurement of the longitudinal diffusion of ionization electrons in the MicroBooNE detector
Accurate knowledge of electron transport properties is vital to understanding the information provided by liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs). Ionization electron drift-lifetime, local electric field distortions caused by positive ion accumulation, and electron diffusion can all significantly impact the measured signal waveforms. This paper presents a measurement of the …
