ArgonCube Light readout system (ArCLight) is a novel device for detecting scintillation\nlight over large areas with Photon Detection Efficiency (PDE) of the order of a few percent. Its robust\ntechnological design allows for efficient use in large-volume particle detectors, such as Liquid\nArgon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) or liquid scintillator detectors. Due to its dielectric\nstructure it can be placed inside volumes with high electric field. It could potentially replace vacuum\nPhotoMultiplier Tubes (PMTs) in applications where high PDE is not required. The photon detection\nefficiency for a 10Ã?â??10 cm2 detector prototype was measured to be in the range of 0.8% to 2.2% across\nthe active area.
