Interactions of energetic particles on target nuclei producing secondary particles will be reviewed. Current simulation codes rely upon poorly measured results from the past. While current neutrino experiments, both atmospheric and…
We report the first measurement of the flux-integrated cross section of $\nu_{\mu}$ charged-current single $\pi^{0}$ production on argon. This measurement is performed with the MicroBooNE detector, an 85 ton active mass liquid argon time…
A position-energy-sensitive detector has been developed for APT instruments in order to deal with some mass peak overlap issues encountered in APT experiments. Through this new type of detector, quantitative and qualitative improvements…
Solid state detectors and cryogenic detectors are widely employed in rare event searches, such as direct Dark Matter detection or Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Scattering experiments. The excellent sensitivity and, consequently, their low…
Following an initiative formalized in April 2016 formally known as ARL West between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT), a field experiment was…
With over 45/pb of 7 TeV pp collisions recorded, the ATLAS Standard Model physics program is well under way. These proceedings survey the latest tests of the Standard Model at this unprecedented energy scale. An overview of recent ATLAS…
Reactions between atomic nuclei are measured in great detail in terrestrial laboratory experiments; transferring and extrapolating this knowledge to how the same reactions act within cosmic environments presents major challenges.…
Precise temperature monitoring -- to the level of a few milli-Kelvin -- is essential for the operation of large-scale cryostats requiring a recirculation system. In particular, the performance of Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers --…
Core-collapse supernovae provide natural laboratories for the production of new light particles. In particular, axion-like particles (ALPs) can be constrained via SN1987A cooling arguments. However, significant astrophysical and nuclear…
For over 40 years, physicists have considered possible uses for neutrino detectors in nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, and fissile materials security. Neutrinos are an attractive fission signature because they readily pass through…
Quantum measurement is a physical process. What physical resources and constraints does quantum mechanics require for measurement to produce the classical world we observe? Treating measurement as a fully unitary quantum process, our goal…
Every country that has made nuclear weapons has used uranium enrichment. Despite the centrality of this technology to international security, there is still no reliable physical marker of past enrichment that can be used to perform forensic…
Observation of internal quantum dynamics relies on correlations between the system being observed and the measurement apparatus. We propose using the center-of-mass (c.m.) degrees of freedom of atoms and molecules as a "built-in" monitoring…
Beam dumps and fixed-target experiments have been very sensitive probes of such particles and other physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) by considering the production of new states from the primary interaction in the beam dump. In a…
Plasma diagnostics have a shortage of fast and sensitive calorimetric sensors that can track substrate temperature during plasma-assisted microfabrication. In this work, energy fluxes from argon and oxygen radiofrequency (RF) glow…
Kopeliovich's suggestion [nucl-th/0306044] to perform nuclear geometry (Glauber) calculations using different cross sections according to the experimental configuration is quite different from the standard practice of the last 20 years and…

Already more than 30 years ago the acoustic particle detection method has been considered to be one possibility to measure signals from ultra-high energetic neutrinos. The present status and problems of corresponding model predictions are…
The measured and evaluated excitation functions are fundamental quantities that affect the accuracy of all calculations in nuclear applications. Some cross sections, such as 14N(n,p)14C, have added value for special applications, as these…
Four possible scenarios are considered for a transition from a quark-gluon matter to hadronic matter, and their corresponding correlation signatures are discussed. Four criteria are highlighted for a definitive experimental search for a QCD…
