Capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements are a widely used technique in silicon detector physics. It gives direct information about the full depletion voltage and the effective doping concentration. However, for highly irradiated sensors, the…
In this work, charge collection profiles of non-irradiated and irradiated 150 $\mu$m $p$-type pad diodes were measured using a 5.2 GeV electron beam traversing the diode parallel to the readout electrode. Four diodes were irradiated to 1…
Laser-driven ion beams are defined by a number of unique features, including a large spread in energy. A stack configuration of radiochromic film (RCF) can be utilized to characterize such beams through measurements of their energy spectra.…
Hybrid pixel detectors require a reliable and cost-effective interconnect technology adapted to the pitch and die sizes of the respective applications. During the ASIC and sensor R&D phase, and in general for small-scale applications, such…
We demonstrate an efficient and scalable compressive Raman parallelization scheme based on single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays to reach pixel dwell times of 23 $\mu$s, representing over 10$\times$ speed-up using the otherwise weak…
We propose a method for thermal expansion compensation of reference monolithic optical cavities for laser frequency stabilization. Two schemes of optical cavities are considered: a Fabry-Perot interferometer with a crimp ring and a…
The ANATOMIX beamline at Synchrotron SOLEIL, operational since 2018, is dedicated to hard X-ray full-field tomography techniques. Operating in a range of photon energies from approximately 5 to 50 keV, it offers both parallel-beam…
In this article, we present the first detailed simulation of the antineutrino emissions from an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) core, benchmarked with input data from the UK Hartlepool reactors. An accurate description of the evolution of…
The SuperFGD will be a part of the ND280 near detector of the T2K and Hyper Kamiokande projects, that will help to reduce systematic uncertainties related with neutrino flux and cross-section modeling. The upgraded ND280 will be able to…
We present a subHz linewidth portable ultrastable laser with the mass and volume of are 40kg and 400mm*280mm*450mm, respectively, that meets the requirements of automatic frequency locking and road transportation. A dynamic analytical model…
Searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu$2$\beta$) is one of the main experimental challenges of modern physics. One experimental technique is given by cryogenic detectors named bolometers that are really promising for this…
In this manuscript we report on the scintillation properties and pulse shape discrimination (PSD) performance of new organic glass scintillator. Two cylindrical samples with dimensions of 2x2 inches were tested. Additionally, this two…
Emissions of particulate matter into the atmosphere are essential to characterize, in terms of properties such as particle size, morphology, and composition, to better understand impacts on public health and the climate. However, there is…
The use of the Monte Carlo technique in a reliable and inexpensive way without the need for a standard radioactive source in determining the detector efficiency is becoming widespread every passing day. It is important to model the detector…
A concise review on the thin-film PMUTs, which has been one of the rather important research topics amongst microultrasound experts is being reported. It has been rigorously surveyed, scrutinized, and perceived that the work in this…
The Crystal Barrel is an electromagnetic calorimeter consisting of 1380 CsI(Tl) scintillators, and is currently installed at the CBELSA/TAPS experiment where it is used to detect decay products from photoproduction of mesons. The readout of…
We detail the design of a variable energy, x-ray fluorescence source using a low activity (1.8$\times10^6$~dpm) \nuc{99}{Tc} $\beta$ source that irradiates thin foils. By rotating the source among foils of Ti, Zn, Nb, Ag, and Au, the device…
We describe a fast data-driven optical camera, Tpx3Cam, with nanosecond scale timing resolution and 80 Mpixel/sec throughput. After the addition of intensifier, the camera is single photon sensitive with quantum efficiency determined…
Thermal noise in high-reflectivity mirror coatings is a limiting factor in ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Reducing this coating thermal noise improves the sensitivity of detectors and enriches the scientific outcome of observing…
Like every megaproject, the European Spallation Source (ESS) currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, has had to make a number of inevitable compromises to remain within budget and on schedule. Some of these compromises carry technical…
