A gaseous time-projection chamber (TPC) with a reconstructable $z$ coordinate for nuclear recoil tracks has been developed for dark-matter searches and $\alpha$ particle imagings in a low radioactivity background. A TPC with a…
This paper presents a measurement of the ratio of photon to electron production and the scintillation spectrum in a popular gas for time pro jection chambers, carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), over the range of 200 to 800 nm; the ratio is…
Measurements of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov photons with the wide-angle atmospheric Cherenkov light detector array AIROBICC and of the charged particle lateral distribution with the scintillator matrix of the HEGRA air-shower…
Images of resolved 5.9 keV electron tracks produced from $^{55}$Fe X-ray interactions are presented for the first time using an optical readout time projection chamber (TPC). The corresponding energy spectra are also shown, with the FWHM…
We report measurements of the non-equilibrium electron energy distribution in carbon nanotubes. Using tunneling spectroscopy via a superconducting probe, we study the shape of the local electron distribution functions, and hence energy…
For time projection chambers (TPCs) the accuracy in measurement of track coordinates along the pad row direction deteriorates with the drift distance ($z$): $\sigma_{\rm X}^2 \sim D_{\rm X}^2 \cdot z / N_{\rm eff}$, where $D_{\rm X}$ is the…
For time projection chambers (TPCs) the accuracy in measurement of the track coordinates along the pad-row direction deteriorates with the drift distance (z): Resolution**2 = D**2 * z / N_eff, where D is the diffusion constant and N_eff is…
Experimental measurements of the extraction efficiency f of the UV-induced photoelectrons emitted from a CsI photocathode into gas mixtures of Ne with CH4, CF4, CO2 and N2 are presented; they are compared with model-simulation results.…
We report the measurement of longitudinal electron diffusion coefficients in liquid argon for electric fields between 100 and 2000 V/cm with a gold photocathode as a bright electron source. The measurement principle, apparatus, and data…
The electric form factor of the neutron was determined from studies of the reaction He3(e,e'n)pp in quasi-elastic kinematics in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. Longitudinally polarized electrons were scattered off a polarized target in which the…
The recent observations of the positron fraction in cosmic rays by PAMELA indicate that the fraction of positrons to the total electronic component in cosmic rays initially decreases in the energy region 1-10 GeV and increases thereafter.…
The key to photoelectric X-ray polarimetry is the determination of the emission direction of photoelectrons. Because of the low mass of an electron, the ionisation trajectory is not straight and the useful information needed for polarimetry…
We present an experimental and theoretical study of core-level ionization of small hetero- and homo-nuclear molecules employing circularly polarized light and address molecular-frame photoelectron angular distributions in the light's…
The polarization of soft and tender X-rays serves as a widely utilized probe for investigating diverse physical properties, such as magnetic order in materials. However, experimental methods for determining the polarization of tender X-rays…
In this research, we employ accurate time-dependent density functional calculations for ultrashort laser spectroscopy of nitrogen molecule. Laser pulses with different frequencies, intensities, and durations are applied to the molecule and…
The results of calculations of the charged particles energy, radial and time distributions at the maximum of electromagnetic showers initiated by electrons with energies from 5 to 1000 GeV in Fe, W and Pb are presented. It is shown that the…

Experimental measurements of the radial spreading of photoelectrons emitted from a multi-alkali photocathode in a MCP-based photomultiplier tube have shown that, for photon wavelengths of 455 nm, 515 nm and 625 nm, the maximum initial…
Measurements of electron drift properties in liquid and gaseous xenon are reported. The electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect in a semi-transparent gold photocathode driven in transmission mode with a pulsed ultraviolet laser.…
Photon number distributions from classical and non-classical light sources have been studied extensively, yet their impact on photoemission processes is largely unexplored. In this article, we present measurements of electron…
