Description

Liquid argon and liquid xenon both play critical roles in high-energy physics experiments. Xenon doping can mitigate some limitations of liquid argon and improve overall detector performance. The CHILLAX program at LLNL has developed unique capabilities for heavy xenon doping in liquid argon and has systematically investigated both the challenges and benefits of this technology. In this talk, I will discuss the thermodynamic stability of xenon-doped argon systems and the potential applications of this mixed medium in neutrino and dark matter search experiments.
