The far-forward sections of the hadronic calorimeter are contained within the EM calorimeter's cryostat, and use liquid argon as it does.
Inductively coupled plasma sources usually use argon as a fuel.
Typically this uses nitrogen, carbon dioxide or argon, which are incombustible gases and so inhibit combustion.
For example N, the diatomic form of nitrogen, is used as an inert gas in situations where using argon or another noble gas would be too expensive.
To drive the reaction to the forming of CO, the partial pressure of CO is lowered using argon or nitrogen.
Mr. Hepburn has expanded on the principle by using argon, xenon or helium to vary colors and effects.
Using argon increases the insulation value of a given suit by approximately 20%, without adding any additional bulk or weight.
HID is a type of gas discharge lamp that uses a mixture of metal halide salts and argon as a filler.
Using argon reduces gas leakage, compared with the helium used in the preceding five decades.
The technique itself, however, was first developed for radiation detection using argon in the early 1970s.
