Commissioning of the large-scale LXe detector test platform PANCAKE — •Tiffany Luce — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Freiburg, 79104 Freiburg, Germany

As liquid xenon (LXe) detectors grow in size with each experiment, larger components have to be developed and tested. PANCAKE is a cryogenic detector test platform for components up to 2.6 m diameter as required for the future dark matter project DARWIN. PANCAKE's primary goal is to test the behavior of large scale detector components, such as TPC electrodes, in cryogenic conditions. A first commissioning run has been performed for two months at liquid argon temperature. The talk will present the results and discuss the strategy for future runs with cryogenic liquid xenon.
