DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Adam Brown (University of Freiburg)\nOne of the most
  significant challenges for future dual-phase xenon TPCs is achieving the 
 high\, uniform electric field needed in the gas layer. One solution is to 
 avoid using gaseous xenon and instead to create the secondary scintillatio
 n within the liquid itself\, in a single-phase xenon TPC. Within micrometr
 es of thin wires\, the electric field is high enough to enable VUV scintil
 lation. Avoiding the gas gap can provide a workaround to some of the techn
 ical challenges facing larger TPCs. At the same time\, it opens up new det
 ector design possibilities by relaxing the requirement that electrons are 
 drifted upwards and facilitates analysis based on counting electrons. We d
 iscuss some of these advantages and present experimental results from a sm
 all single-phase demonstrator TPC with 10 µm anode wires.\n\nhttps://indi
