Direct comparison of PEN and TPB wavelength shifters in a liquid argon detector
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 A large number of particle detectors employ liquid argon as their target material owing to its high scintillation yield and its ability to drift ionization charge over large distances.

Scintillation detectors constructed with an optimized 2x2 silicon photomultiplier array
, 2016 Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are a good alternative to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) because their gain and quantum efficiency are comparable to PMTs. However, the largest single-chip SiPM is still less than 1~cm$^2$.

Nuclear recoil energy scale in liquid xenon with application to the direct detection of dark matter
, 2011 We show for the first time that the quenching of electronic excitation from nuclear recoils in liquid xenon is well-described by Lindhard theory, if the nuclear recoil energy is reconstructed using the combined (scintillation and ionization) energy scale
