Description

A single-phase liquid argon chamber is in development by the SCALAR group at Queen's University as part of a research and development program for future liquid argon dark matter detectors. A Geant4 simulation is being developed alongside the detector to model its response, guide design, and evaluate performance. This talk will focus on my contributions to the simulation through the implementation of major radioactive backgrounds and alpha calibrations, and how these developments complement ongoing hardware efforts.
