Abstract
- This work would not have been possible without the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation, Switzerland; CEA and CNRS/IN2P3, France; KEK and the JSPS program, Japan; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion in Spain under grants FPA2016-77347-C2, SEV-2016-0588 and MdM-2015-0509, Comunidad de Madrid, the CERCA program of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the fellowship (LCF/BQ/DI18/11660043) from "La Caixa" Foundation (ID 100010434); the Programme PNCDI III, CERN-RO, under Contract 2/2020, Romania; the U.S. Department of Energy under Grant No. DE-SC0011686. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program under Grant Agreement no. 654168. The authors are also grateful to the French government operated by the National Research Agency (ANR) for the LABEX Enigmass, LABEX Lyon Institute of Origins (ANR-10-LABX-0066) of the Universite de Lyon for its financial support within the program "Investissements d'Avenir" (ANR-11-IDEX-0007).<br />We report the results of the analyses of the cosmic ray data collected with a 4 tonne (3x1x1 m(3)) active mass (volume) Liquid Argon Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) operated in a dual-phase mode. We present a detailed study of the TPC's response, its main detector parameters and performance. The results are important for the understanding and further developments of the dual-phase technology, thanks to the verification of key aspects, such as the extraction of electrons from liquid to gas and their amplification through the entire one square metre readout plain, gain stability, purity and charge sharing between readout views.<br />Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)<br />French Atomic Energy Commission<br />Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)<br />High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK)<br />Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT)<br />Japan Society for the Promotion of Science<br />Spanish Government FPA2016-77347-C2 SEV-2016-0588<br />MdM-2015-0509<br />Comunidad de Madrid<br />CERCA program of the Generalitat de Catalunya<br />La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/DI18/11660043 100010434<br />Programme PNCDI III, Romania<br />CERN-RO, Romania 2/2020<br />United States Department of Energy (DOE) SC0011686<br />European Commission 654168<br />Universite de Lyon ANR-10-LABX-0066 ANR-11-IDEX-0007
