SUMMARY:The Physics and Technology of Liquid Argon Scintillation Light
  Detection\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Benjamin Jame
 s Poyner Jones\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Liquid argon as a particle detection medium is of central 
 importance to current and future neutrino and dark matter experiments.
   As well as ionization charge\, particles traversing liquid argon pro
 duce copious 128 nm scintillation light.  The detection of this scinti
 llation light can be used to great effect for triggering\, for reconst
 ruction\, and for offline analysis in such experiments.  In this talk 
 I will discuss some of the microphysics associated with scintillation 
 light production and propagation as well as the technology used to det
 ect it.  In particular I will focus on recent liquid argon scintillati
 on R&amp\;amp\;D performed at Fermilab\, and the development of optica
 l systems for the MicroBooNE experiment.
