Numerical simulations were used to study signal formation in a Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) and in THGEM -based Thick-WELL (THWELL) and Resistive-Plate WELL (RPWELL) detectors. The signal shapes were simulated in mixtures of…

This contribution will delve into the design and performance of the newly produced Silicon Carbide Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (4H-SiC LGADs) and provide a comprehensive summary of their measured characteristics. This includes an analysis…

A series of measurements have been performed with low-energy monoenergetic neutrons to characterise cross-talk between two organic scintillator detectors. Cross-talk time-of-flight spectra and probabilities were determined for neutron…

Conducting levitated mechanical experiments in extreme conditions has long been the aim of researchers, as it allows for the investigation of new fundamental physics phenomena. One of the great frontiers has been sending these experiments…

We present results of our study devoted to the development of a time correction algorithm needed to precisely synchronize a free-running Rubidium atomic clock with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This R&D is performed in view of the…

The goal of the ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy And Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) CUSP experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator is to measure the ground state hyperfine splitting of antihydrogen in order to test whether CPT invariance…

The standard gas mixture for the Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), composed of C2H2F4/i-C4H10/SF6, allows the detector operation in avalanche mode, as required by the high-luminosity collider experiments. The gas density, the low current and…

Position-sensitive SiPMs are useful in all light detection applications requiring a small number of readout channels while preserving the information about the incoming light's interaction position. Focusing on a 2x2 array of LG-SiPMs…

In the framework of the MACIV project, a consortium of French laboratories has deployed a temporary seismic network of 100 broadband stations in the French Massif Central (FMC) for 3-4 years (2023-2027). The project aims at imaging the…

The Light only Liquid Xenon (LoLX) experiment is a prototype detector aimed to study liquid xenon (LXe) light properties and various photodetection technologies. LoLX is also aimed to quantify LXe's time resolution as a potential…

It is shown that the diffraction on a polycrystal can be used for investigation and diagnostics of X-ray radiation emitted in a forward direction by relativistic charged particles moving in crystalline or other targets or fields. Methods…

Cryogenic calorimeters, also known as bolometers, are among the leading technologies for searching for rare events. The CUPID experiment is exploiting this technology to deploy a tonne-scale detector to search for neutrinoless double-beta…

Future high-luminosity hadron collider experiments feature unprecedented levels of event pile-up and extreme radiation environments, calling for sensors capable of 4D tracking, even after significant radiation damage. To this purpose, 3D…

For many years there has been an aspiration within the community to develop curved silicon detectors for particle physics applications. We present the results from 10 x 10cm low mass support modules as a part of the "ZeroMass" project that…

Structure determination is a key application of XFELs and 4th generation synchrotron sources, particularly using the coherent and pulsed X-ray radiation from X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL). Scientific interest focuses on understanding…

Single-photon detectors (SPDs) are widely used in applications requiring extremely weak light detection. In the near-infrared region, SPDs based on InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are the primary candidates for practical…

The trend in neutron sciences is toward integrating compact, high-brightness moderators into new or upgraded facilities. Transporting neutrons from the source to the sample position with a phase-space distribution tailored to specific…

The construction of X-ray generator based on a pyroelectric crystal LiNbO3 is described. Some properties of radiation spectra from the X-ray generator are presented. Measurements of the spectra were performed at heating and cooling of the…

We present a new approach to report in the Section 4 of BIPM Circular T daily values of the offset between UTC and the predictions of UTC broadcast by the GNSS, this quantity we name bUTC_GNSS. In this approach, the determination of UTC -…

The performance of Hamamatsu 8" photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of the type used in the SuperNEMO neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment (R5912-MOD), is investigated as a function of exposure to helium (He) gas. Two PMTs were monitored for…
