This work focuses on addressing the challenges associated with photodetection systems in liquid noble experiments. These systems typically incorporate an external wavelength shifter film, which is deposited over an optical element. However, this approach poses several issues such as cross-contamination, mechanical and chemical stresses, and photobleaching. To overcome these limitations, our research group has introduced a novel technique called MagLITe (Magnesium fluoride Light collection Improvement technique).
MagLITe involves the application of a transparent VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) compatible material as a protective layer over the external wavelength shifter. This layer is specifically designed to be hard, durable, and compatible with the underlying structure. By implementing this technique with the right thickness, we not only mitigate the aforementioned challenges but also enhance the system's efficiency by acting as an anti-reflective VUV coating.
In this work, we present our latest results on the topic, showcasing the advancements achieved on MagLITe.
