In this work, we propose indirect evaluation methods to check the accuracy and the uncertainty of ab initio calculated virial coefficients. To this end, we have used single-pressure refractive-index gas thermometry (SPRIGT) to estimate the…

The RADiCAL Collaboration is conducting R\&D on high performance electromagnetic (EM) calorimetry to address the challenges expected in future collider experiments under conditions of high luminosity and/or high irradiation (FCC-ee, FCC-hh…

As liquid argon (LAr) detectors are made at progressively larger sizes, accurate models of LAr optical properties become increasingly important for simulating light transport, understanding signals, and developing analyses. The refractive…

In this paper, we present a rapidly-prototyped, costefficient, 3D-printed quasioptical sample holder for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in modern, resonator-free, highfield electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometers.…

A full-field transmission hard X-ray microscope (TXM) with 30nm resolution was designed and its prototype was constructed. The TXM relies on a compact, high stiffness, low heat dissipation and low vibration design philosophy and utilizes…

Low gain avalanche detectors (LGADs) deliver excellent timing resolution, which can mitigate mis-assignment of vertices associated with pileup at the High Luminosity LHC and other future hadron colliders. The most highly irradiated LGADs…

In this article we explore the availability of radiopure tungsten and its potential as high density shield material for low background applications. For compact shield designs, conventionally, lead is used. Metallic tungsten and tungsten…

The CONUS experiment is searching for coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering of reactor anti-neutrinos with four low energy threshold point-contact high-purity germanium spectrometers. An excellent background suppression within the…

The GECAM series of satellites utilize LaBr3(Ce), LaBr3(Ce,Sr), and NaI(Tl) crystals as sensitive materials for gamma-ray detectors (GRDs). To investigate the non-linearity in the detection of low-energy gamma rays and address errors in the…

The RHIC interaction rate at sPHENIX will reach around 3 MHz in pp collisions and requires the detector readout to reject events by a factor of over 200 to fit the DAQ bandwidth of 15 kHz. Some critical measurements, such as heavy flavor…

A novel room temperature capacitance-to-phase transducer is described, which uses a modified All-Pass filter architecture combined with a simple series resonant tank circuit with a moderate Q-factor. It is fashioned from a discrete inductor…

The $^3$He(n,p) process is excellent for neutron detection between thermal and $\sim$4\,MeV because of the high cross section and near-complete energy transfer from the neutron to the proton. This process is typically used in gaseous forms…

We have developed a photon detection system for muonic X-ray spectroscopy. The detector system consists of high-purity germanium detectors with BGO Compton suppressors. The signals from the detectors are readout with a digital acquisition…

In recent years, particle discrimination methods based on digital waveform analysis techniques for neutron-transmutation-doped silicon (nTD-Si) detectors have become widely used for the identification of low-energy charged particles.…

Observing nuclear neutrinoless double beta (0vbb) decay would be a revolutionary result in particle physics. Observing such a decay would prove that the neutrinos are their own antiparticles, help to study the absolute mass of neutrinos,…

Miniaturized optical imaging systems typically utilize 2-dimensional (2D) actuators to acquire images over a 2D field of view (FOV). Piezoelectric tubes are most compact, but usually produce sub-millimeter FOVs and are difficult to…

The tracks recorded by a gaseous detector provide a possibility for charged particle identification. For searching the neutrinoless double beta decay events of 136Xe in the PandaX-III experiment, we optimized the convolutional neural…

The design and measurement results of ultra-low power, fast 10-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) prototypes in 65 nm CMOS technology are presented. Eight prototype ADCs were designed using two…

A consistent and explicit spectral comparison between heterodyne (HD) and direct detection (DD) derived from first principles including the atmospheric transmission and low beam-filling factors could not be found yet in literature but is…

A large-volume Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking and particle identification (PID) detector of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC. PID in the TPC is performed via specific energy-loss measurements (dE/dx), which are…
