Relative measurement and extrapolation of the scintillation quenching factor of $$\alpha $$ α -particles in liquid argon using DEAP-3600 data

Abstract The knowledge of scintillation quenching of $$\alpha $$ α -particles plays a paramount role in understanding $$\alpha $$ α -induced backgrounds and improving the sensitivity of liquid argon-based direct detection of dark matter experiments. We performed a relative measurement of scintillati...
