The ClearMind project aims to develop the TOF-PET position sensitive detection module optimized for the time resolution, spatial resolution, and detection efficiency. For this, the ClearMind project uses a large (59 $\times$ 59 mm$^2$)…
Dark matter particles populating our galactic halo could be directly detected by measuring their scattering off target nuclei or electrons in a suitable detector. As this interaction is expected to occur with very low probability and would…
In this study we investigate the stability limits of Micromegas detectors upon irradiation with alpha particles. The results are obtained with meshes with different optical transparency and geometry of wires. The measurements are performed…
Numerous particle physics experiments utilize gadolinium (Gd), a rare earth element with the most significant neutron capture cross-section among all elements, to detect anti-neutrinos via inverse beta-decays or to remove neutron-induced…
Xenon is a widely used detector target material due to its excellent scintillation properties in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. The additional use of infrared (IR) scintillation light could improve future detectors. However, a comprehensive…
The high luminosity upgrade of the LHC will provide unique physics opportunities, such as the observation of rare processes and precision measurements. However, the accompanying harsh radiation environment will also pose unprecedented…
The CYGNO project aims at the development of a high precision optical readout gaseous Tima Projection Chamber (TPC) for directional dark matter (DM) searches, to be hosted at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). CYGNO employs a…
Fiber optic sensing is becoming an important means to physically secure today's network infrastructure. However, a network-wide deployment of the monitors will require cost reduction of the interrogator system, which can only be achieved by…
The performance of two implementations of digital real-time interpolating constant fraction discriminator algorithms with respect to fast-timing lifetime measurements are investigated. The implementations integrated in two different…
PARSIFAL (PARametrized SImulation by Farinelli And Lavezzi) is a fast and reliable software tool that reproduces the complete response of a triple-GEM detector to the passage of a charged particle, taking into account the main physical…
Particle beams focused to micrometer-sized spots play a crucial role in forefront research using low-energy positrons. Their expedient and wide application, however, requires highly-resolved, fast beam diagnostics. We have developed two…
Many types of detectors, such as cathode strip chambers and some MPGDs, allow us to reconstruct track positions by induced strip charges. There are two main types of algebraic methods for this reconstruction: center of gravity methods and…
The PandaX-30T is a proposed next-generation experiment to study dark matter and neutrinos using a dual-phase time projection chamber with \textasciitilde30 tons of liquid xenon. An innovative xenon handling subsystem of the PandaX-30T, the…
Cosmic rays are energetic nuclei and elementary particles that originate from stars and intergalactic events. The interaction of these particles with the upper atmosphere produces a range of secondary particles that reach the surface of the…
Digital image correlation method is a non contact deformation measurement technique. Despite years of development, it is still difficult to solve the contradiction between calculation efficiency and seed point quantity.With the development…
The absolute light yield of a scintillator, defined as the number of scintillation photons produced per unit energy deposited, is a useful quantity for scintillator development, research, and applications. Yet, literature data on the…
The CRESST experiment employs cryogenic calorimeters for the sensitive measurement of nuclear recoils induced by dark matter particles. The recorded signals need to undergo a careful cleaning process to avoid wrongly reconstructed recoil…
The next generation of high-power lasers enables repetition of experiments at orders of magnitude higher frequency than was possible using the prior generation. Facilities requiring human intervention between laser repetitions need to adapt…
This work describes the frequency stabilization of a dual longitudinal mode, red (632.8 nm) He-Ne laser, implemented using a low-cost microcontroller and its performance characterization using a simple interferometric method. Our studies…
The LCLS2 Free Electron Laser FEL will generate xray pulses to beamline experiments at up to 1Mhz These experimentals will require new ultrahigh rate UHR detectors that can operate at rates above 100 kHz and generate data throughputs…
