Precise calculation of the geometrical acceptance of a large solid angle detector with an integrated stopping target relies on precise knowledge of the beam geometry. We describe four alternative methods that we used to measure the beam…
An in-trap decay spectroscopy setup has been developed and constructed for use with the TITAN facility at TRIUMF. The goal of this device is to observe weak electron-capture (EC) branching ratios for the odd-odd intermediate nuclei in the…
Radio detection of air showers in the current era has progressed immensely to effectively extract the properties of these air showers. Primary cosmic rays with energies of hundreds of PeV have been successfully measured with the method of…

We describe the detection, interpretation, and removal of the signal resulting from interactions of high energy particles with the \Planck\ High Frequency Instrument (HFI). There are two types of interactions: heating of the 0.1\,K…
We introduce a search technique that is sensitive to a broad class of signals with large final state multiplicities. Events are clustered into large radius jets and jet substructure techniques are used to count the number of subjets within…
We report on the assessment of the imaging performance of CITIUS -- a high-speed X-ray detector developed for the large-scale synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8-II -- for heavy charged particles and neutrons. To characterize the…
The matched filter (MF) represents one of the main tools to detect signals from known sources embedded in the noise. In the Gaussian case the noise is assumed to be the realization of a Gaussian random field (GRF). The most important…
Results of mode identification and seismic modelling of the $\beta$ Cep/SBP star 12 Lacertae are presented. Using data on the multi-colour photometry and radial velocity variations, we determine or constrain the mode degree, $\ell$, for all…

We present the performance of multiplexed XY resistive Micromegas detectors tested in the CERN SPS 100 GeV/c electron beam at intensities up to 3.3 $\times$ 10$^5$ e$^- $/(s$\cdot$cm$^2$). So far, all studies with multiplexed Micromegas…
Searches for new physics push experiments to look for increasingly rare interactions. As a result, detectors require increasing sensitivity and specificity, and materials must be screened for naturally occurring, background-producing…
We have been developing X-ray SOIPIXs for next-generation satellites for X-ray astronomy. Their high time resolution ($\sim10~\mu$s) and event-trigger-output function enable us to read out without pile-ups and to use anti-coincidence…
The observation of the neutrinoless double beta decay may provide essential information on the nature of neutrinos. Among the current experimental approaches, a high pressure gaseous TPC is an attractive option for the search of double beta…
