The detection of scintillation light from liquid argon is an experimental technique key to a number of current and future nuclear / particle physics experiments , such as neutrino physics , neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter searches .
Although the idea of adding small quantities of xenon ( doping ) to enhance the light yield has attracted considerable interest , this technique has never been demonstrated at the necessary scale .
