Many interes>ng ideas proposed up to now that are being developed by groups inside the Collabora>ons:
- Anode coupled Read-out -> We will hear by J. Conrad
- Near Infrared scin>lla>on light detec>on – could be used in combina>on wit
VUV and improve the performances of PD system. Insensi>ve to Rayleigh sca1ering and can be reflected by stainless steel. Proposed by Prof. C. Escobar
- Xenon doping -> Could resolve the problem of using wavelength shiWer. We will
have a talk at PD mee>ng in CSU by M. Gold
- ARAPUCA -> Trap of light proposed by Brazilian Collaborators -> Will be tested
in LAr at Fermilab at the end of this month. Thanks to the help of C. Escobar, S. Pordes, H. Lippinco1 at Fermilab.
