Polyethylene naphthalate film as a wavelength shifter in liquid argon detectors
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 Liquid argon-based scintillation detectors are important for dark matter searches and neutrino physics. Argon scintillation light is in the vacuum ultraviolet region, making it hard to be detected by conventional means. Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), an
