The use of large amounts of liquid argon is foreseen in different projects, like the DarkSide-20k experiment, intended to look for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Here, results from the study of the cosmogenic activation of argon carried out in the context of DarkSide-20k are presented. The induced activity of several isotopes, including 39Ar, and the expected counting rates in the detector have been deduced, considering exposure conditions as realistic as possible. 000131224 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000131224 590__ $$a1.3$$b2024 000131224 592__ $$a0.427$$b2024 000131224 591__ $$aINSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION$$b60 / 79 = 0.759$$c2024$$dQ4$$eT3 000131224 593__ $$aMathematical Physics$$c2024$$dQ3 000131224 593__ $$aInstrumentation$$c2024$$dQ3 000131224 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000131224 7102_ $$12004$$2390$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
