We have developed a novel technique for the measurement of the avalanche fluctuation of gaseous detectors using a UV laser. The technique is simple and requires a short data-taking time of about ten minutes. Furthermore, it is applicable…
Argon with an admixture of CF4 is expected to be a good candidate for the gas mixture to be used for a time projection chamber (TPC) in the future linear collider experiment because of its small transverse diffusion of drift electrons…
Flexible printed cables and circuitry based on copper-polyimide materials are widely used in experiments looking for rare events due to their unique electrical and mechanical characteristics. However, past studies have found…
In order to suppress the background in rare event detection experiments such as 0{\nu}\b{eta}\b{eta}, this paper developed a set of single/multi-site event pulse shape discrimination methods suitable for strip multi-electrode high-purity…
CLLBC(Ce) and TLYC(Ce) are novel scintillation materials capable of measuring mixed gamma ray and neutron radiation fields that have gained significant interest in the areas of space and nuclear safety/security science. To date Geant4, the…
Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is an imaging method for the visualization of fluid motion, capable of reconstructing three-dimensional trajectories of small tracer particles suspended in nearly any medium, including fluids that…
ESA EUCLID mission will be launched in 2020 to understand the nature of the dark energy responsible of the accelerated expansion of the Universe and to map the geometry of the dark matter. The map will investigate the distanceredshift…
We present the design and the absolute calibration of charged particle high-repetition-rate online readout CMOS system tailored for high-power laser experiments. This system equips a Thomson parabola (TP) spectrometer, used at the Apollon…
ND280 is a near detector of the T2K experiment which is located in the J-PARC accelerator complex in Japan. After a decade of fruitful data-taking, ND280 is scheduled for upgrade. The time-of-flight (ToF) detector, which is described in…
A setup designed to study photonuclear reactions at astrophysical energies - an active target Time Projection Chamber was developed and constructed at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw. The device was successfully employed in two…
Due to the need for higher reliability and performance from RF circuits, multi-port reflectometers are increasingly used as low-overhead impedance monitors. In this work, using periodic structures as multi-ports is proposed. Periodic…
Plasma discharge lamps are widely utilized in the practice of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments as narrow-linewidth ultraviolet photon sources. However, many emission lines such as Ar-I, Ne-I, and Ne-II have…
We determined the ultracold neutron (UCN) production rate by superthermal conversion in the solid deuterium (sD$_2$) moderator of the UCN source at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). In particular, we considered low amounts of less than…
The neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) technique has the potential to increase the Fourier time and energy resolution in neutron scattering by using radio-frequency (rf) neutron spin-flippers. However, aberrations arising from variations in…
We propose a scheme for constructing a phase plate for use in an ultrafast Zernike-type phase contrast electron microscope, based on the interaction of the electron beam with a strongly focused, high-power femtosecond laser pulse and a…
The amount of energy released by a nuclear recoil ionizing the atoms of the active volume of detection appears "quenched" compared to an electron of the same kinetic energy. This different behavior in ionization between electrons and nuclei…
Directional detection is the only strategy for the unambiguous identification of galactic Dark Matter (DM) even in the presence of an irreducible background such as beyond the neutrino floor. This approach requires measuring the direction…
Ultraviolet single-photon detector (UVSPD) provides a key tool for the applications requiring ultraweak light detection in the wavelength band. Here, we report a 4H-SiC single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) based free-running UVSPD with…
Accurate direct measurements of far-field thermal infrared emission become increasingly important because conventional methods, relying on indirect assessments, such as reflectance/transmittance, are inaccurate or even unfeasible to…
We report on the commissioning results of the cold neutron multiplexing secondary spectrometer CAMEA (\textbf{C}ontinuous \textbf{A}ngle \textbf{M}ulti-\textbf{E}nergy \textbf{A}nalysis) at the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) at the…
