Description
The SoLAr collaboration proposes to use the liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology to detect MeV-scale neutrinos, specifically to search for solar neutrinos, at the Boulby Underground Laboratory in the United Kingdom. SoLAr's innovative approach combines the light and charge readout of LArTPCs onto a combined dual readout anode plane, allowing for better positional resolution in light detection and combined light and charge calorimetry. Two small-scale prototype detectors were built and operated at the University of Bern in 2022 and 2023. Furthermore, simulations have been developed on the performance of various tonne-scale dual readout geometries. The contribution will cover the SoLAr detector concept, preliminary simulations, and the results from the two prototype detectors using cosmic-ray muons.
