Abstract

We present measurements of light and charge signals in a dual-phase time projection chamber at electric fields varying from 10 V/cm up to 500 V/cm and at zero field using 511 keV gamma rays from a 22Na source We determine the drift velocity, electron lifetime, diffusion constant, and light and charge yields at 511 keV as a function of the electric field In addition, we fit the scintillation pulse shape to an effective exponential model, showing a decay time of 435 ns at low field that decreases to 25 ns at high fields.
