We have observed stable avalanche gain in liquid argon when mixed with small amounts of xenon (xe) in the high electric field (47 MV/cm) near the point of a chemically etched needle in a point-plane geometry. We identify two gain mechanisms, one pressure dependent, and the other independent of the a
We present measurements of drift velocities and gains in gas mixtures based on Ar and Xe, with CO 2 ; CH 4 ; and N 2 as quenchers, and compare them with calculations. In particular, we show the dependence of Ar-and Xe-CO 2 drift velocities and gains on the amount of nitrogen contamination in the gas
