High-speed ultra-broadband detectors play a crucial role in aerospace technology, and national security etc. The interfacial work function internal photoemission (IWIP) detector employs multiple absorption mechanism comprehensively across…
Micro-Pattern Gas Detectors (MPGDs) represent a category of gaseous ionization detectors that utilize microelectronics. They feature a remarkably small distance between the high potential difference anode and cathode electrodes and are…
The experimental discovery of neutrinoless double-beta decay (NLDBD) would answer one of the most important questions in physics: Why is there more matter than antimatter in our universe? To maximize the chances of detection, NLDBD…
This article proposes a new method to measure the proton detector efficiency for use in "beam" determinations of the free neutron lifetime. There is currently a 4{\sigma} disagreement between the "beam" and "storage" methods of measuring…
A novel cold neutron source (CNS) employing chessboard or staircase assemblies of high-aspect ratio rectangular (HARR) para-hydrogen (p-H2) moderators is proposed. It is demonstrated that this design can generate neutron beams with higher…
The objective of the study is to evaluate the evolution of the performance of the new ATLAS Inner-Tracker (ITk) strip sensors as a function of radiation exposure, to ensure the proper operation of the upgraded detector during the lifetime…
(Kingham 1982) provided equations for the probability of observing higher charge states in atom probe tomography (APT) experiments. These "Kingham curves" have wide application in APT, but cannot be analytically transformed to provide the…
As small radiation fields play an ever-increasing role in radiation therapy, accurate dosimetry of these fields becomes critical to ensure high quality dose calculation and treatment optimization. The PRB-0002, a new plastic scintillation…
We introduce a new output amplifier for fully-depleted thick p-channel CCDs based on double-gate MOSFETs. The charge amplifier is an n-type MOSFET specifically designed and operated to couple the fully-depleted CCD with high charge-transfer…
This study investigates the response of Timepix3 semiconductor pixel detectors in proton beams of varying intensities, with a focus on FLASH proton therapy. Using the Timepix3 ASIC chip, we measured the spatial and spectral characteristics…
Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory that is being designed in the 2020s and is envisioned to begin operations in the 2030s together with the Einstein Telescope in Europe. The CE concept…
