The PHENIX collaboration has designed a conceptually new Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) for electron identification in high density hadron environment. The HBD will identify low momentum electron-positron pairs to reduce the combinatorial…
This document illustrates the technical layout and the expected performance of the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) of the PANDA experiment. The MVD will detect charged particles as close as possible to the interaction zone. Design criteria and…
We introduce the polymer analysis and discovery array (PANDA), an automated system for high-throughput electrodeposition and functional characterization of polymer films. The PANDA is a custom, modular, and low-cost system based on a CNC…
A double-phase argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC), with an active mass of 185 g, has been designed and constructed for the Recoil Directionality (ReD) experiment. The aim of the ReD project is to investigate the directional sensitivity of…
The DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cerenkov light) is a new type of ring imaging Cerenkov detector, which detects images from Cerenkov light produced in precisely machined quartz bars. The Cerenkov images are transported along…
One of the goals of hypernuclear physics is to study the properties of baryon-baryon interaction including the strangeness contribution. Double hypernuclei can provide information about the $\Lambda\Lambda$ interaction in addition to the…
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Laboratory aims to perform quantitative tests of non-perturbative QCD by studying the spectrum of light-quark mesons and baryons. A Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC) was installed to…
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is one of the four satellites within Strategic Pioneer Research Program in Space Science of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). DAMPE can detect electrons, photons and ions in a wide energy range…
The resolution of Cherenkov detectors using the DIRC method is mainly limited by three components: photon loss due to steep angles of incidence, dispersion effects, and angle straggling due to the Coulomb interaction of the charged…
A study of the baryon excitation spectra provides a deep insight into the inner structure of baryons. Most of the world-wide efforts have been directed towards $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ spectroscopy. Complementary data from double and triple…
