Abstract
This paper presents a measurement of the ratio of photon to electron production and the scintillation spectrum in a popular gas for time projection chambers, carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), over the range of 200–800 nm; the ratio is measured to be 0.34 ± 0.04 . This result is of particular importance for a new generation of dark matter time projection chambers with directional sensitivity which use CF4 as a fill gas.
