Investigating batteries while they operate allows researchers to track the inner electrochemical processes involved in working conditions. This study describes the first neutron radiography investigation of a lead-acid battery. A…

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is used to study the production of new particles in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 13.6 TeV. The detector includes a magnet based on a 6 m…

We describe a new instrument, the Argonne Auger Radioisotope Microscope (ARM), capable of characterizing the Auger electron emission of radionuclides, including candidates relevant in nuclear medicine. Our approach relies on event-by-event…

This study developed a new current-readout technique capable of handling measurements with high count rates reaching 1 Gcps. By directly capturing the output current of a photomultiplier as a digitized waveform, we estimated event rates,…

Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is the only cooling medium for the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) bulks in the superconducting levitator, which is the heart of the maglev train, to reach working state. The detection and determination of the…

The performance of a particle detector derived from nitride read-only memory (NROM) technology is evaluated, with immediate applications in space-based heavy ion radiation monitoring and detection. Irradiation exposures are performed using…

Upgrade work towards increasing the beam intensity of the neutrino beamline at J- PARC is underway. Monitoring tertiary muon beams is essential for stable operation of the beamline. Accordingly, we plan to replace the present muon monitor…

GN-Vision is a compact, dual-modality imaging device designed to simultaneously localize the spatial origin of $\gamma$-ray and slow neutron sources, with potential applications in nuclear safety, security, and hadron therapy. The system…

This study introduces chromatic calorimetry, a novel particle detection method that uses strategically layered scintillators with different emission wavelengths. This approach aims to enhance energy measurement by capturing particle…

The Forward Silicon Tracker (FST) is a pivotal component of the forward upgrade of the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR), designed to discern hadron charge signs with a momentum resolution better than 30% for $0.2 < p_T < 2$ GeV/c in the…

A new concept, the Triplet Track Trigger (TTT), is proposed for stand-alone tracking at the first trigger level of the FCC-hh detector. The concept is based on a highly scalable monolithic pixel sensor technology and uses a very simple and…

The development of ferromagnet/heavy metal thin-film structures, such as CoFeB/Mo, with spin-orbit interaction requires advanced methods for their production and study. Polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) provides unique insights into the…

We present LUCAS (Low power Ultra-low jitter Compact ASIC for SiPM), an analog front-end for Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) targeting fast timing detectors in Time-of-Flight Computed Tomography (ToF-CT). LUCAS features a very low input…

We build a 1064 nm fiber laser system-based testing facility for emulating SETs in different electronics components and ICs. Using these facilities, we tested the 4N35 optocoupler to observe SETs for the first time.

Ad-hoc interface PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are today the standard connection between cryogenic cabling and quantum chips. Besides low-loss and low-temperature-dependent-dielectric-permittivity materials, Flame Resistance n.4 (FR4)…

At the CMS experiment, a growing reliance on the fast Monte Carlo application (FastSim) will accompany the high luminosity and detector granularity expected in Phase 2. The FastSim chain is roughly 10 times faster than the application based…

This paper investigates the removal of radon from purified and ambient airs by Ag-zeolite. Ag-zeolite is known to have very high performance for airborne radon removal. The dependence of zeolite type and silver content on the performance of…

Thorium-229, with its exceptionally low-energy nuclear excited state, is a key candidate for developing nuclear clocks. $^{229}$Th-doped CaF$_2$ crystals, benefiting from calcium fluoride's wide band gap, show great promise as solid-state…

We present a programmable 16 channel, mixed signal, low power readout ASIC, having the project historically named Gigasample Recorder of Analog waveforms from a PHotodetector (GRAPH). It is designed to read large aperture single photon…

Hadronic calorimeters with dual readout measure both scintillation and Cherenkov lights produced in their active media. They offer improvements in energy resolution and, therefore, have become increasingly interesting due to the need for…
