β¦ Synopsis
Large Liquid Argon (LAr) Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are becoming very attractive for long baseline neutrino and proton decay experiments because of their imaging capabilities and their excellent energy resolution. To optimize the detector performance and boost its signal-to-noise ratio we are developing within the MicroBooNE collaboration front-end readout electronics operating at LAr temperatures. Some preliminary results are presented here.

A surprisingly wide diversity of sensors, instruments or devices used for military, civil, scientific and medical purposes require cooling to cryogenic temperatures. Some work better or faster at low temperatures, are more sensitive or more effective. For others cryogenic cooling is essential to uti
