We have evaluated the imaging capabilities of the Timepix4 hybrid silicon pixel detector for 100 keV and 200 keV electrons in a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Using the knife-edge method, we have measured the Modulation Transfer…

The QCLAM electron spectrometer at the S-DALINAC electron accelerator at Technische Universit\"at Darmstadt has been extended by the DAGOBERT $\gamma$-detector array consisting of fast timing and high efficiency LaBr$_3$:Ce detectors to…

The transparency of liquid scintillators or water is an important parameter for many detectors in particle and astroparticle physics. In this work, the Cavity Enhanced Long Light Path Attenuation Length Screening (CELLPALS) method for the…

In recent years, the gain suppression mechanism has been studied for large localized charge deposits in Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs). LGADs are a thin silicon detector with a highly doped gain layer that provides moderate internal…

The Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) is a proposed $e^+e^-$ collider with a peak luminosity 100 times higher than that of the present tau-charm factory. The inner tracker (ITK) of STCF should feature a low material budget and high readout…

Large multiplexing factors are a primary advantage of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), but the implementation of high density arrays still presents significant challenges. Deviations between designed and achieved resonant frequencies…

This study evaluates the potential of muon tomography as a non-invasive technique for detecting concealed illicit drugs in cargo, based on detailed simulations performed using the GEANT4 toolkit. A combined analysis of muon scattering and…

Liquid argon detectors rely on wavelength shifters for efficient detection of scintillation light. The current standard is tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB), but it is challenging to instrument on a large scale. Poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate)…

A numerical model based on hydrodynamic approach has been developed to emulate the device dynamics of active target Time Projection Chamber which is utilized for studying nuclear reaction through three dimensional tracking of concerned low…

Next-generation data networks need to support Tb/s rates. In-phase and quadrature (IQ) modulation combine phase and intensity information to increase the density of encoded data, reduce overall power consumption by minimising the number of…

Machine-learning-based methods can be developed for the reconstruction of clusters in segmented detectors for high energy physics experiments. Convolutional neural networks with autoencoder architecture trained on labeled data from a…

This study outlines the progress of a collaborative effort between INRIM and MUOGRAPHIX-The University of Tokyo, focusing on using muons from cosmic-ray-induced Extensive Air Showers (EAS) to synchronize atomic clocks and disseminate atomic…

We developed, built, characterized on bench and beam-tested a permanent magnet (PM) Compact Wiggler (CW) prototype with a hydraulic assist gap-controlling mechanism. The prototype is of ~50cm long, 20cm wide and 40cm high and weights ~50kg.…

A total of 25600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), along with their corresponding frontend electronics, have been installed at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). These electronics are housed in 200 stainless steel…

With the increasing brightness of Light sources, including the Diffraction-Limited brightness upgrade of APS and the high-repetition-rate upgrade of LCLS, the proposed experiments therein are becoming increasingly complex. For instance,…

We present a design for a high-granularity zero-degree calorimeter (ZDC) for the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The design uses SiPM-on-tile technology and features a novel staggered-layer arrangement that improves spatial…

In the past 10 years, two design innovations, the introduction of low internal gain (LGAD) and of resistive read-out (RSD), have radically changed the performance of silicon detectors. The LGAD mechanism, increasing the signal-to-noise…

A silicon microstrip detector (SSD) has been developed to have state of the art spatial resolution and a large sensitive area under stringent power constraints. The design incorporates three floating strips with their bias resistors…

Experimental searches for axions or dark photons that couple to the standard model photon require photosensors with low noise, broadband sensitivity, and near zero backgrounds. Here, we introduce an experimental architecture, in which a…
