As soon as the lowest purity monitor was immersed: ~40 us -> 7.5 ppb O2eq On Thursday 30st of August purity was compatible with ~60 us Cathode signal Anode signal ProtoDUNE-SP: On Friday 31st of August, 2018 the purity of the bulk liquid argon dropped from 40 us purification cartridges needed to be regenerated. Regeneration took till the 3rd of September. Filling restarted immediately after. Filippo Resnati - DUNE Collaboration Meeting - CERN - 28th January 2019

During data taking, ProtoDUNE-SP, PrMs have alerted the experiment solely to serious problems several times (dips): Recirculation pump stoppages, false alarms, and problems from the cryostat-level gauges. These alerts are critical to the ProtoDUNE-SP project's success, as they prevented situations which otherwise would have continued unnoticed for some time, with severe consequences to the ability to take any data. Neither the gas analyzers nor the TPC caught these problems in time.

PrM e-lifetime stat. error is much smaller than TPC because it measures localized purity with large statistics

Choose TPC cosmic runs under same PrM purities for e-lifetime calibration Important for DUNE because cosmic rate is low

Electron lifetime: tau = 1/k_A*ns , where k_A is the electron attachment rate and ns is the concentration of a certain type of impurity. Attachment rates k_A at different E-fields are different, make electron lifetime and Qa/Qc different in TPC and PrM different due to their different operation HVs Develop TPC-PrM combined lifetime measurement: (Qa/Qc)_TPC= f*(Qa/Qc)_PrM f obtained from fit to (1/tau0-1/tau)_TPC vs. (1/tau0-1/tau)_PrM in data, space charge effects largely cancelled Result consistent with prediction from SCE corrected e-lifetime time prediction by Flavio and Xiao)

What are the limitations of the purity monitors in terms of measuring high purity levels and what are the benefits that would be obtained by implementing proposed improvements to these devices? For Detector Operation (relative measurement):

Are the proposed number of purity monitors per far detector module (10 total, 6 inside cryostat, 4 inline within cryogenic infrastructure) necessary to meet critical system requirements?

"Why measure with purity monitors and not in TPC data”
conditions were to persist, it could cause irreversible contamination to the LAr and terminate useful data
mitigate this risk is unique because the cosmic-ray rate in DUNE's deep-underground FD is too low for TPC to measure e-lifetime frequently with its data.
fluctuation in the online e-lifetime from TPC data makes it hard to catch the purity change caused by liquid argon recirculation issue in time. On the other hand, after lower the purity monitor anode high voltage, electron drift time in purity monitors reaches 2.2 ms, the same as the TPC, but the purity monitor can take large statistics in a short period of time at the same location, so the statical error and effects from location dependent uncertainties are smaller in purity monitors compared with TPC. Each purity monitor e-lifetime measurement is based on purity monitor Qa/Qc from 200 UV flashes within 40 seconds at the same location, and the statistic error on the purity monitor e-lifetime is less than 0.03 ms when the purity is 6 ms. With this high precision, purity monitors can catch the purity drop immediately and make the alert to the experiment.
problems several times. The first time was for filter saturation during LAr filling, and the rest were recirculation pump stoppages, false alarms, and problems from the cryostat-level gauges. These alerts are crucial to the ProtoDUNE-SP project's success, as they prevented situations which otherwise would have continued unnoticed for some time, with severe consequences to the ability to take any data. Neither the gas analyzers nor the TPC caught these problems in time.
