Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are a leading technology in the search for sub-GeV dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. A key background for rare-event searches with these detectors arises from…
Low threshold cryogenic calorimeters are a key technology for the advancement of rare-event searches. However, since a few years their sensitivity reach is challenged by the presence of a rising spectrum at low energies named low-energy…
The organometal halide perovskites (OMHP) semi-conductors have shown recently a strong potential as radiation detectors, beside the well-known success in photovoltaics and as photo-detectors. Many studies have been published on X-rays…
Network psychometrics conceptualises psychological constructs as emergent properties of systems of interacting variables. Energy-based probabilistic models have gained popularity as models of these interactions, but their psychometric…
Radiation damage to a Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM), as it occurs during the lifetime of the planned CMS high-granularity calorimeter detector, increases the dark current and degrades the signal-to-noise separation for minimum-ionizing…
Silicon carbide is a promising material for radiation-hard detectors due to its wide bandgap, low leakage current, high critical electric field, and high saturation velocity. A key obstacle for its use in high-radiation environments is the…
We present a deep neural net-based region of interest detection method (DNN ROI) for signal processing in the liquid argon time projection chambers of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program, SBND and ICARUS. DNN ROI addresses limitations…
A one-positron quantum cyclotron is realized with a single positron suspended indefinitely in the magnetic field of a Penning trap. This opens the way to quantum measurements of the positron magnetic moment, to a precision much higher than…

Test beam studies of ITk pixel sensors and full modules are an essential tool for assessing their performance and operational behavior. In the 2025 test beam campaigns, quad and triplet modules equipped with both pre-production and…
Laser-driven, high-brilliance secondary sources (electrons, ions, neutrons, X-rays) open new perspectives for compact material probing and imaging of high-speed events. A key advantage is their ability to perform multiplexed probing, as…
The Shapiro time delay is one of the four classical tests of Einstein general theory of relativity and is commonly interpreted as a constrain on the parametrized post Newtonian (PPN) parameter gamma, which is exactly unity in general…
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) have become the preferred photodetectors in next-generation neutrino experiments, yet no unified closed-form analytical expression free of truncation and numerical convolution has been established for their…
