Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next-generation rare-event searches such as for the direct…
Accurate timekeeping relies on feedback that continually steers a local clock toward a higher-grade reference. We evaluate first-order sliding-mode control (SMC) for steering an atomic clock and benchmark it against two standards:…
This experimental particle-physics thesis reports the latest developments on the GasPM, a novel gaseous photodetector aimed at suppressing beam-induced backgrounds in the electromagnetic calorimeter for a potential upgrade of the Belle~II…
In recent years, large underwater telescopes have been designed and realized to measure high energy neutrinos from astrophysical objects. Muon tracks produced by the neutrino interaction in the surrounding medium are reconstructed from the…
This paper presents a customized weighing unit developed for the Tsinghua tabletop Kibble balance. The system is based on a flexure hinge mechanism sourced from a commercial weighing cell, with a major modification to the feedback control…
Upcoming LCLS-II/II-HE operation at repetition rates approaching 1MHz demands on-detector data reduction to manage the resulting data volumes. We present a 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) pre-processing algorithm that segments…
The NESSA (Neutron Source in Uppsala) facility hosts a compact 14 MeV deuterium-tritium sealed tube neutron generator at the {\AA}ngstr\"om Laboratory, Uppsala University. The generator, housed in a bunker inside the FREIA hall, reaches a…
Perfect-crystal neutron interferometry has been a useful tool in measuring nuclear-interactions, probing fundamental physics, and exploring quantum phenomenon. Historically, neutron interferometry experiments have been carried out at room…
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center ensembles provide a powerful platform for high-precision temperature sensing, with ongoing efforts to further enhance their measurement performance. In ensemble NV optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR)…
The Muon Scattering Experiment (MUSE) was developed to address the proton radius puzzle through simultaneous electron-proton and muon-proton scattering using the Paul Scherrer Institute's PiM1 secondary beamline. MUSE uses a…
The low-field carrier mobilities in <100> silicon were quantified as a function of the 1$\,$MeV neutron-equivalent fluence up to $10^{18}\,$cm$^{-2}$ and for temperatures between 230$\,$K and 260$\,$K. Current measurements were fitted using…
Addressing the need for efficient and integrated multiscale crystallographic and defect analyses of advanced materials, this paper presents the implementation of a new multi-configuration detection system, integrating a single…
Dual-polarization heterodyne receivers operating at 325 GHz, 424 GHz, and 650 GHz at room temperature are presented. Polarimetric measurements are enabled by two orthogonal open-ended E-field probes, co-optimized and integrated with two…
Neutron multiplicity counting (NMC) underpins plutonium assay in nuclear safeguards, arms control, and disarmament verification, but existing simulation tools are essentially limited to MCNPX-PoliMi [1] (export-controlled, MCNP license…
Large detectors are often monitored at the channel level (drift time, collected charge, and hit maps), which validates hardware but not tracking performance. A wire-by-wire tracking efficiency diagnostic is presented for the Belle~II…
Time-resolved microscopy with the pump-probe protocol is one of the most important techniques for the investigation of dynamical processes at the nanoscale, thanks to the possibility of combining nanometric resolution imaging with…
The wide-bandgap semiconductor 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) offers a compelling combination of radiation hardness, thermal stability, and high critical electric field for particle detection in harsh environments. To compensate for the…
This paper describes the setup and the results of the direct on-wafer measurements of a FET noise parameters obtained with a source-pull method at temperatures down to T=4K and in the 5-12 GHz frequency range. The setup consists of a…
The Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) is a near-site experiment for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). Its primary goal is to provide a precise reference reactor antineutrino energy spectrum, thereby eliminating the…
Nuisance photoluminescence is a potential source of background in particle detectors that use noble liquids as target material for galactic dark matter particles and neutrinos. Liquid argon and xenon scintillate in the vacuum ultraviolet…
