Description
LArIAT (Liquid Argon in a Testbeam) is a small liquid argon time
projection chamber set to calibrate and develop the LArTPC technology.
LArIAT has completed 3 Runs on a charged particle beamline at the
Fermilab Test Beam Facility and has acquired a large dataset of
particle interactions on liquid argon which is currently being
analyzed. An important feature of LArIAT, is the light collection
system, which uses wavelength shifting foils to enhance the light
collection efficency and uniformity. We will present the results of
using this enhanced light collection for calorimetric and particle
identification measurements as well as prospects for future
applications in larger scale detectors.
