Beam Drift Chamber (BDC) is designed to reconstruct the trajectories of incident rare isotope beams provided by RAON (Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments) into the experimental target of LAMPS (Large Acceptance…

Superconducting sensors doped with rare isotopes have recently demonstrated powerful sensing performance for sub-keV radiation from nuclear decay. Here, we report the first high-resolution recoil spectroscopy of a single, selected nuclear…

Sterile neutrinos are hypothetical particles in the minimal extension of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. They could be viable dark matter candidates if they have a mass in the keV range. The Karlsruhe tritium neutrino (KATRIN)…

The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN is a spallation source dedicated to measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross-sections of interest in nuclear technologies, astrophysics, and other applications. Since 2014,…

A monolithic silicon pixel ASIC prototype, produced in 2024 as part of the Horizon 2020 MONOLITH ERC Advanced project, was tested with a 120 GeV/c pion beam. The ASIC features a matrix of hexagonal pixels with a 100 \mu m pitch, read by…

To combat the risk of nuclear smuggling, radiography systems are deployed at ports to scan cargo containers for concealed illicit materials. Dual energy radiography systems enable a rough elemental analysis of cargo containers due to the…

This study investigates the temperature-induced hysteretic behavior of resistivity and magnetoresistance in electrodeposited bismuth films, with a focus on their application as absorbers in transition-edge sensors (TESs) for X-ray…

Due to the increased commercial availability, wide-bandgap semiconductors and their radiation hardness have recently received increased interest from the particle physics community. 4H-Silicon Carbide (SiC), especially, is an attractive…

A $^6$Li-doped plastic scintillator with pulse-shape discrimination capabilities, commercially identified as EJ-299-50, has been developed and produced at the kilogram-scale. A total of 44 kg-scale bars of dimensions 5.5 cm $\times$ 5.5 cm…

Electroplated Bismuth (Bi) is commonly used in Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) for X-rays because of its high stopping power and low heat capacity. Electroplated Bi is usually grown on top of another metal that acts as seed layer, typically…

The European XFEL is equipped with scintillating screens as a profile measurement monitor. The scintillating material used is Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet doped with Cerium (GAGG:Ce). At most of the stations, the screen is positioned…

The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a~precise-timing gaseous detector based on a~Cherenkov radiator coupled with a~semi-transparent photocathode and a~Micromegas amplifying structure, targeting a~time resolution of tens of picoseconds for…

PandaX-4T is a xenon-based multi-purpose experiment, focusing on particle and astrophysics research. The data quality monitoring system plays a crucial role in the experiment. This system enables the prompt detection of potential issues…

The COMET experiment focuses on searching for the direct conversion of a muon into an electron on an aluminum nucleus without emitting a neutrino (so-called $\mu\rightarrow e$ conversion). This conversion violates the lepton flavor…

Resampling by interpolation is the traditional method to process interferograms from non-uniformly sampled Fourier transform spectrometers. The non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) is an alternative approach that has been mostly…
