Liquid Argon TPC RD
Setup at PAB (Proton Assembly Building) A test
station to produce clean argon (lt0.1 ppb O2)
study the contamination of LAr by various
materials and the efficacy of different filter
materials in removing oxygen
In May 2006,we achieved the purity required for a
3m electron drift with lt20 loss (as appropriate
for a full-size liquid argon detector).
