The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a future Higgs factory to measure the Higgs boson properties. Like the other future experiments, the simulation software plays a crucial role in CEPC for detector designs, algorithm…
Using CaWO$_4$ crystals as cryogenic calorimeters, the CRESST experiment searches for nuclear recoils caused by the scattering of potential Dark Matter particles. A reliable identification of a potential signal crucially depends on an…
The official data collection for the Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva commenced on July 5, 2022, following approximately three and a half years of maintenance, upgrades, and commissioning. Among the many upgrades…
The NINJA experiment aims to precisely measure neutrino-nucleus interactions using a nuclear emulsion detector to reduce systematic errors in neutrino oscillation experiments. The nuclear emulsion has a sub-micron positional resolution,…
The goal of the FNAL E989 experiment is to measure the muon magnetic anomaly to unprecedented accuracy and precision at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. To meet this goal, the time and space averaged magnetic environment in the…
We are evaluating the performance of a Passive Gamma Emission Tomography (PGET) device equipped with 3D position-sensitive cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) gamma-ray detectors when used for inspecting spent nuclear fuel assemblies (SFAs).…
This contribution reports on characterisation results of a large-area (2$~\mathrm{cm}^2$) small pitch (55$~\mu$m) inverse Low-Gain Avalanche Detector (iLGAD), bonded to a Timepix3 readout chip. The ilGAD sensors were produced by Micron…
In the context of the CERN EP R&D on monolithic sensors and the ALICE ITS3 upgrade, the Tower Partners Semiconductor Co (TPSCo) 65 nm process has been qualified for use in high energy physics, and adopted for the ALICE ITS3 upgrade. An…
Direct detection of relic neutrinos in a beta-decay experiment is an ambitious goal that has long been beyond the reach of available technology. One of the most challenging practical difficulties for such an experiment is managing a large…
We have deployed a new hybrid array of LaBr3, CeBr3, and BGO scintillators for detecting $\gamma$ rays at the DRAGON recoil separator at TRIUMF. The array was developed to improve $\gamma$-ray timing resolution over the existing BGO array.…
RED-100 is a two-phase Xe detector designed and built for the study of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering CEvNS of reactor antineutrinos. A comprehensive calibration was performed in order to obtain important parameters of the…
The superheated emulsion detector consisting of the droplets of tetra-fluoroethane (C2HC$_2$H$_2$F$_4$2F4) has been fabricated at the laboratory and installed at the 555m deep underground laboratory, JUSL during July to Dec 2022. The 500ml…
Following the successful completion and testing of the sCCU-type undulator with 28mm period, we have designed, prototyped, constructed and bench tested another sCCU-type undulator with a much shorter 19mm-period magnetic structure.…
The current work describes a proof of concept of a 3D XRF scanner, which is able to perform elemental analysis over the cylindrical surface of geological rock-core and to reconstruct a 1D, 2D and a 3D elemental map of the scanned area. The…
Background: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , a modular array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, was constructed to demonstrate backgrounds low enough to justify building a tonne-scale experiment to search for the…
A novel liquid argon purity monitor based on a 207 Bi radioactive source, emitting monochromatic internal-conversion electrons, is presented. This new monitor allows for a very precise and fast measurement of the electronegative impurities…
The nEDM experiment at the SNS (nEDM@SNS) is the first measurement of the neutron EDM to directly measure the precession frequency of the neutron spin due to magnetic and electric fields. Previous measurements have inferred the precession…
The ePIC detector is being designed as a general-purpose detector to deliver the full physics program of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in BNL USA. Particle Identification (PID) plays a crucial role in the EIC physics program. Over a wide…
We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to surpass the sensitivity of typical electrical readout schemes.…
This project explores the design and development of a transition edge sensor (TES) spectrometer for resonant soft X- ray scattering (RSXS) measurements developed in collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the National…
