Liquid scintillator (LS) will be adopted as the detector material in JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory). The energy resolution requirement of JUNO is 3%, which has never previously been reached. To achieve this energy…
We studied the temperature dependence of the light yield of the linear alkyl benzene (LAB)-based and mesitylene-based liquid scintillators. The light yield increases by 23% for both liquid scintillators when the temperature is lowered from…
A scintillator is a material which converts incoming ionizing energy into visible light. This conversion process, which is a strongly nonlinear one, can be described by a Reaction-Diffusion-Drift equation we obtain from a model of continua…
The Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) enables hybrid detection by combining scintillation and Cherenkov signals, providing superior event reconstruction capabilities compared to conventional neutrino detectors. We measured the light…
Scintillating homogeneous detectors represent the state of the art in electromagnetic calorimetry. Moreover, the currently neglected crystalline nature of the most common inorganic scintillators can be exploited to achieve an outstanding…
This study reports the performance and light yield of 1% concentration water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) deployed in a 1000-liter detector. A light yield of 99$\pm$15 photons per MeV is determined by comparing data with simulation.…

The proton light yield of organic scintillators has been measured extensively in recent years using fast waveform digitizers and large discrepancies exist in the values reported by different authors. In this letter, we address principles of…
Liquid scintillating phantoms have been proposed as a means to perform real-time 3D dosimetry for proton therapy treatment plan verification. We have studied what effect radiation damage to the scintillator will have upon this application.…
Liquid scintillators doped with metals are needed for a variety of measurements in nuclear and particle physics. Nanoparticles provide a mechanism to dope the scintillator and their unique optical properties could be used to enhance…
In the context of the ClearMind project, we measured the scintillating properties, as induced from from gamma ray interactions, of today available PbWO4 crystal. We measured scintillation s yields and time constants by measuring the signal…
We propose a new technique to measure the infrared scintillation light yield of rare earth (RE) doped crystals by comparing it to near UV-visible scintillation of a calibrated Pr:(Lu$_{0.75}$Y$_{0.25}$)$_{3}$Al$_5$O$_{12}$ sample. As an…

Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) aims to improve the visibility of images captured in poorly lit environments. Prevalent event-based solutions primarily utilize events triggered by motion, i.e., ''motion events'' to strengthen only the…
