Scientific paper

In the framework of the ArDM project, a next-generation one ton liquid argon WIMP detector, we built a 5 litre prototype chamber. This setup is primarily used to develop the appropriate read out for argon VUV scintillation light (128 nm) using wave length shifting dyes. The final aim is a energy threshold of 30 keV corresponding to yield of roughly 2% for detected photo-electrons. Beside light yield studies we investigate purity effects as well as background suppression power from the light pulse shape.
