New generation dark matter experiments aim at exploring the 10e-9 - 10e-10 pb cross-section region for the WIMP-nucleon scalar interactions. Neutrons produced in the detector components are one of the main factors that can limit detector…
This report presents results from a background measurement campaign for the CODEX-b proposal undertaken in August, 2018. The data were recorded in the DELPHI side of the LHCb cavern behind a 3.2~m concrete shield wall, during Run~2…
The spatial distribution of the background events may affect the source detection capability of IBIS at high energies (> 200 keV) for both ISGRI and PICsIT layers. The observed background is found to be variable and spatially structured,…
Pixelated CdZnTe detectors are a promising imaging-spectrometer for gamma-ray astrophysics due to their combination of relatively high energy resolution with room temperature operation negating the need for cryogenic cooling. This reduces…

We present the tests performed by the SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration at the DA{\Phi}NE collider with a quasi-hemispherical CdZnTe detector. The very good room-temperature energy resolution and efficiency in a wide energy range show that this…
Naturally occurring radiation backgrounds cause correlated decoherence events in superconducting qubits. These backgrounds include both gamma rays produced by terrestrial radioisotopes and cosmic rays. We use the particle-transport code…
Pixel detectors are used in the innermost part of the multi purpose experiments at LHC and are therefore exposed to the highest fluences of ionising radiation, which in this part of the detectors consists mainly of charged pions. The…
