We present a free-space optical communication system that utilizes Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and a mechanical streak camera to achieve wireless data transmission. This system addresses the scalability and reliability limitations of conventional wired and multiplexed readouts, offering significant advantages such as reduced single point of failure risk and immunity to electromagnetic...
ull waveform digitization is an obvious solution for many particle physics detectors: Nyquist sampling ensures no information is lost, and extraction of important features can be postponed to later offline analysis, or can even be done by a fast FPGA before storage to disk. For photon detectors used in large-scale neutrino physics, however, the dynamic ranges run from just single photons to...
CosmoLink is a compact coincidence detector designed for portable on-site muon flux measurement, featuring two scintillators coupled with wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers for efficient light guiding to Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Each readout channel is equipped with a transimpedance preamp, discriminator, and peak hold circuit. A successful coincidence is digitized using an Analog to...
Most noble liquid detectors employ scintillation light as either a timing signal for a TPC or as a calorimetric measurement, or both. Its relative amplitude and timing on multiple detectors can also be used to approximately locate an interaction.
Scintillation imaging goes a step further, introducing an optical system in front of finely segmented SiPM matrices. The objective is to build...
High performance dichroic filters (DFs) are key photon wavelength sorting devices for Cherenkov and scintillation light in water- and scintillator-based neutrino detectors. Future detectors will require large-area DFs at a low cost and with improved transmissivity and reflective properties. DFs are traditionally manufactured by various physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques such as ion...
This talk will present the investigation into the enhancement of the piezoelectric potential in a metal/ZnO thin film under surface plasmon resonance (SPR) conditions for the development of novel piezo-plasmonic based UV photon detectors. Metal thin films are used in numerous high-tech applications, such as electronic devices, surface plasmon resonance sensors, and integrated photonic circuits...
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration is developing liquid-noble bubble chambers to detect sub-keV nuclear recoils, allowing the search for low-mass (GeV-scale) dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering from low-energy (MeV-scale) neutrinos. The scintillating bubble chamber detectors benefit from the energy reconstruction that the scintillation signal gives in...
ICARUS is the largest Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) in operation and serves as the Far Detector of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab. It is exposed to both the booster neutrino
beam (BNB) and the off-axis flux from the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The ICARUS detector is in two identical cryogenic modules of ~300 tons each. The ICARUS scintillation light...
