Abstract
A UV-wavelength laser beam was used to ionize a purified liquid argon medium in a time projection chamber environment, and for the first tim e, to our knowledge, ionization signals corresponding to ionization el ectrons were measured in the particle time projection chamber resultin g in a laser calibration. Furthermore, the mechanism of the complicate d ionization process has been postulated.
