Description
After a short review of previous attempts to observe and measure the near-infrared scintillation in liquid argon, we present new results obtained with a dedicated cryostat at the Fermilab Proton Assembly Building (PAB). The new results give confidence that the near-infrared light can be used as the much needed light signal in large liquid argon time projection chambers and we present first ideas on how to design and build a photon detection system utilizing the near-infrared light.
