Figure 1

These figures illustrate how rare particle events are identified by noble liquid detectors. The incoming particle creates VUV scintillation (represented by blue light) inside the noble liquids such as LAr or LXe. These VUV photons are shifted to higher wavelengths, and are detected by present day photodetectors (such as SiPMs). The overall efficiency of the detection mechanism depends primarily on the wavelength shifting efficiency.
