We would like to measure the reflectivity and transmittivity of UV light on samples of detector materials. Here we describe in detail how we would like our setup to work, and what needs to be done for that. [PLEASE ADD ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF]

Samples of detector materials

The samples that we would like to study the optical properties of, are materials used in (large scale) liquid xenon dark matter experiments. We would like to investigate how the UV scintillation light generated by events in the liquid xenon interacts with the walls of the detector. We need to be able to place the samples into our experiment without touching the face of the sample, and we need to be able to measure for different angles of incoming light. A sample holder has been designed by Casimir van der Post for this purpose [MAKE A DEDICATED PAGE FOR SAMPLE HOLDER DESIGN].

TO DO

  • test placing the sample holder inside the vacuum chamber
  • test rotation of the sample holder inside the vacuum chamber
  • test placing samples in the sample holder
  • test the thermal connection between the samples and the sample holder
  • ...
