The ITkPixV2 chip is the final production readout chip for the ATLAS Phase 2 Inner Tracker (ITk) upgrade at the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). Due to the extraordinarily high peak luminosity at the HL-LHC of $5 \times 10^{34}$…
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration purchased 32 Hamamatsu VUV4 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for use in SBC-LAr10, a bubble chamber containing 10~kg of liquid argon. A dark-count characterization technique, which avoids…
Results from commissioning and first year of operations of the cryogenic system of the Short-Baseline Neutrino Detector (SBND) and its membrane cryostat installed at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are described. The SBND detector…
Resistive AC-coupled Silicon Detectors (RSDs) are silicon sensors which provide high temporal and spatial resolution. The RSD is a candidate sensor to be used in future tracking detectors with the objective of obtaining '4D' tracking, where…
SuperSUN, a new superthermal source of ultracold neutrons (UCN) at the Institut Laue-Langevin, exploits inelastic scattering of neutrons in isotopically pure superfluid $^4$He at temperatures below $0.6\,$K. For the first time, continuous…
The study of novel quantum materials relies on muon-spin rotation, relaxation, or resonance (\mSR) measurements. Yet, a fundamental limitation persists: many of these materials can only be synthesized in extremely small quantities, often at…
