RED-100 is a two-phase Xe detector designed and built for the study of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering CEvNS of reactor antineutrinos. A comprehensive calibration was performed in order to obtain important parameters of the…
The superheated emulsion detector consisting of the droplets of tetra-fluoroethane (C2HC$_2$H$_2$F$_4$2F4) has been fabricated at the laboratory and installed at the 555m deep underground laboratory, JUSL during July to Dec 2022. The 500ml…
Following the successful completion and testing of the sCCU-type undulator with 28mm period, we have designed, prototyped, constructed and bench tested another sCCU-type undulator with a much shorter 19mm-period magnetic structure.…
The current work describes a proof of concept of a 3D XRF scanner, which is able to perform elemental analysis over the cylindrical surface of geological rock-core and to reconstruct a 1D, 2D and a 3D elemental map of the scanned area. The…
Background: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , a modular array of isotopically enriched high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, was constructed to demonstrate backgrounds low enough to justify building a tonne-scale experiment to search for the…
A novel liquid argon purity monitor based on a 207 Bi radioactive source, emitting monochromatic internal-conversion electrons, is presented. This new monitor allows for a very precise and fast measurement of the electronegative impurities…
The nEDM experiment at the SNS (nEDM@SNS) is the first measurement of the neutron EDM to directly measure the precession frequency of the neutron spin due to magnetic and electric fields. Previous measurements have inferred the precession…
The ePIC detector is being designed as a general-purpose detector to deliver the full physics program of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in BNL USA. Particle Identification (PID) plays a crucial role in the EIC physics program. Over a wide…
We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to surpass the sensitivity of typical electrical readout schemes.…
This project explores the design and development of a transition edge sensor (TES) spectrometer for resonant soft X- ray scattering (RSXS) measurements developed in collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the National…
We report on the development of a low-energy positron diffraction (LEPD) experimental station for surface structure analysis using a linac-based slow-positron beam. LEPD, the positron counterpart of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED),…
This study aims to provide an accurate estimation of the intrinsic resolution of LaBr$_3$(Ce) crystal through a combination of experimental and simulation methods. We re-analyzed the data from previous Wide-Angle Compton Coincidence (WACC)…
This paper introduces a high-performance Soft-Core Processor based data acquisition system designed for handling Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). The DAQ consist of FPGA-based hardware equipped with Soft-Core Processor and embedded…
A major part of cosmic rays consists of the primary protons, and this portion plays a crucial role in the space applications such as shielding of spacecrafts. In this study, the proton flux values measured at the top of the atmosphere…
Single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) based on silicon are widely considered for quantum satellite communications but suffer from an increasing dark count rate (DCR) due to displacement damage in their active areas induced by proton…
Precise alignment of the electron beam is critical for successful application of scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) to understanding materials at atomic level. Despite the success of aberration correctors, aberration…
Plastic scintillator detectors with three-dimensional granularity and sub-nanosecond time resolution offer simultaneous particle tracking, identification, and calorimetry. However, scaling to larger volumes and finer segmentation poses…
A differential frequency microwave sensor for angular displacement detection is reported. A metal strip-loaded cylindrical dielectric resonator (SLCDR) is excited with a 50 ohm microstrip transmission line through a rectangular slot made on…
Detecting the topology and direction of low-energy nuclear and electronic recoils is broadly desirable in nuclear and particle physics, with applications in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, astrophysical neutrino measurements,…
The detailed simulation of the Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) provides the performance characteristics of MRPCs with different numbers of gas gaps and gap thicknesses. This helps in optimizing the structure of MRPCs under…
