Prototype studies of a liquid organic TPC for the detection of low energy antineutrinos — Malte Göttsche, •Niklas Herrmann, Thomas Radermacher, Stefan Roth, and Yan-Jie Schnellbach — RWTH Aachen University - Physics Institute III B, Aachen, Germany

Liquid organic time projection chambers, LOr-TPCs, can potentially be used to detect and measure low energy antineutrinos. One application would be monitoring antineutrinos from nuclear waste via inverse beta decay. Using an organic liquid as drift medium has the advantage of room temperature operation, but the measurement is very sensitive to impurities. Therefore, we set up a prototype including a purification system, which contains a turbomolecular pump, a boiler, a condenser and filters. The status of the prototype setup is presented.
