Introduction Liquid Argon – Why<br />

Liquid Argon is a powerful Scintillator (40,000 photons/MeV)<br />

and allows free electrons to drift meters under practical<br />

strength electric fields.<br />

It presents an attractive Target Medium for:<br />

Neutrino interactions where liquid Argon TPCs can produce<br />

bubble-chamber quality event images;<br />

Dark Matter searches which exploit features of light and free<br />

charge produced in Argon by the recoiling nucleus to achieve<br />

excellent background rejection.<br />
