Description
The Argon Dark Matter (ArDM) is a 1-ton two phase liquid/gaseous argon scintillation/ionisation WIMP detector. The primary VUV scintillation light of argon (wavelength 128 nm) needs to be shifted to visible light in order to match the sensitivity range of the photomultiplier tubes. We discuss results from the development and optimization of wavelength shifters based on the organic scintillator tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB).
