In the past years, it has been observed at several beam test campaigns that irradiated LGAD sensors break with a typical star shaped burn mark when operated at voltages much lower than those at which they were safely operated during…
TRIDENT (The tRopIcal DEep-sea Neutrino Telescope) is a proposed next-generation neutrino telescope to be constructed in the South China Sea. In September 2021, the TRIDENT Pathfinder experiment (TRIDENT EXplorer, T-REX for short) was…
This work describes a silicon tracker system developed for experiments with proton-rich radioactive ion beams at the SAMURAI superconducting spectrometer of RIBF at RIKEN. The system is designed for accurate angular reconstruction and…
In recent years, progress in improving the bias stability of NMR gyroscopes has been hindered. Taking inspiration from the core idea of rotation modulation in the strapdown inertial navigation system, we propose a general approach to…
The development of compact neutron sources for applications is extensive and features many approaches. Let alone ion-based approaches, several projects with different parameters exist. This article focuses on ion-based neutron production…
Luminescence thermometry has been extensively exploited in the last decades both from the fundamental and applied point of views. The application of photoluminescent nanoparticles on the microscopic level based on rare-earth doped (RED)…
Environmental noise coupling to mechanical experiments often introduces low-frequency fluctuations to the resonators, adding noise to measurements and reducing signal to noise. To counter these fluctuations, we demonstrate a dynamic…
Real-time measurement of relative humidity (RH) is important to many physical, chemical, and biological processes. However, in processes that involve harsh conditions such as high temperatures, strong electromagnetic interferences, and…
The large angular and momentum acceptance magnetic spectrometer VAMOS++, at GANIL, France, is frequently used for nuclear structure and reaction dynamics studies. It provides an event-by-event identification of heavy ions produced in…
CUPID is a next-generation bolometric experiment aiming at searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay with ~250 kg of isotopic mass of $^{100}$Mo. It will operate at $\sim$10 mK in a cryostat currently hosting a similar-scale bolometric…
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) for the High-Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) are crucial in reducing pileups in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. Numerous studies have been conducted on the bulk irradiation damage of LGADs.…
The linear response of a photomultiplier tube (PMT) is a required property for photon counting and reconstruction of the neutrino energy. The linearity valid region and the saturation response of PMT were investigated using a…
The combination of optical time transfer and optical clocks opens up the possibility of large-scale free-space networks that connect both ground-based optical clocks and future space-based optical clocks. Such networks promise better tests…
A low-energy electronic recoil calibration of XENON1T, a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber, with an internal $^{37}$Ar source was performed. This calibration source features a 35-day half-life and provides two mono-energetic lines at…
In Run 3 of the LHC the LHCb experiment faces very high data rates containing beauty and charm hadron decays. Thus the task of the trigger is not to select any beauty and charm events, but to select those containing decays interesting for…
Various superconducting detector solenoids for particle physics have been developed in the world. The key technology is the aluminum-stabilized superconducting conductor for almost all the detector magnets in particle physics experiments.…
We introduce CaloFlow, a fast detector simulation framework based on normalizing flows. For the first time, we demonstrate that normalizing flows can reproduce many-channel calorimeter showers with extremely high fidelity, providing a fresh…
We present an in-vacuum bonded, 9.7 mL-volume Fabry-P\'erot ultrastable optical reference cavity that operates without a vacuum enclosure. A laser stabilized to the cavity demonstrates low, thermal noise-limited phase noise and 5x10^{-14}…
We present a new approach for measuring fiber tip temperature using low-coherence Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry, which eliminates the need for an independent reference path and does not entail specific processing of the…
We examine the effect of realistic pinhole geometries used in neutron imaging on the size of the image produced in the image plane. Using a simple inverted parabola shape for the neutron source, an MCNP simulation shows that the area of the…
