We present Monte Carlo (MC) simulation results from a study of a compact plastic-scintillator detector suitable for imaging fast neutrons in the 1 -- 10 MeV energy range: the miniTimeCube (mTC). Originally designed for antineutrino…

An automatic target monitoring method based on photographs taken by a CMOS photo-camera has been developed for the MEG II detector. The technique could be adapted for other fixed-target experiments requiring good knowledge of their target…

We present a systematic calculation of the cross section for the lepton-proton bremsstrahlung process l + p --> l' + p + gamma in chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. This process corresponds to an undetected background…

Negative-ion time projection chambers(TPCs) have been studied for low-rate and high-resolution applications such as dark matter search experiments. Recently, a full volume fiducialization in a self-triggering TPC was realized. This…

Time projection chambers (TPCs) have found a wide range of applications in particle physics, nuclear physics, and homeland security. For TPCs with high-resolution readout, the readout electronics often dominate the price of the final…

A large volume time projection chamber (TPC) has been proposed as main tracking device for a detector at a future linear e+e- collider. Gas electron multipliers (GEMs) are studied as potential replacement of the conventional wire based gas…

The MEG detector is designed to test Lepton Flavor Violation in the $\mu^+\rightarrow e^+\gamma$ decay down to a Branching Ratio of a few $10^{-13}$. The decay topology consists in the coincident emission of a monochromatic photon in…

Muon-Induced X-ray Emission (MIXE) is a non-destructive analytical technique that leverages negative muons to probe elemental and isotopic compositions by detecting characteristic muonic X-rays emitted during atomic cascades and gamma rays…

The relative immunity of muons to synchrotron radiation suggests that they might be used in place of electrons as probes in fundamental high-energy physics experiments. Muons are commonly produced indirectly through pion decay by…
