Modern particle detectors, including liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs), collect a vast amount of data, making it impractical to save everything for offline analysis. As a result, these experiments need to employ data down-selection techniques during data acquisition, referred to as triggering. In this talk, I will present ongoing efforts to provide real-time, intelligent,...
The μRWELL-PICOSEC detector, which is based on Resistive Micro-Well (μRWELL) technology, is a novel concept for fast timing gaseous detectors that can provide timing resolution in the tens of picosecond range, making it ideal candidate for time-of-flight (TOF) technology for particle identification (PID) in particle physics experiments as well as for future medical instrumentation. The...
This talk highlights the latest contributions and significant milestones of the Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) in advancing neutrino detection technologies. ANNIE, located on the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab, serves as a research and development platform for cutting-edge detection techniques. It is the first neutrino experiment to utilize gadolinium...
We present a proposal for a pathfinder experiment towards an ultra-precision time resolved intensity interferometry (TRII) system that will enhance the sensitivity of the current best telescopes. TRII measurements rely on the ability to time correlate the detection of photons from the same stellar source at two remote locations to better than 10 ps precision. Such unprecedented precision has...
Silicon sensors with gain such as LGADs (Low Gain Avalanche Diodes) are prime candidates for high resolution timing applications in High Energy Physics, Nuclear science, and other fields. Over the course of their lifetime, these sensors are required to withstand enormous amounts of radiation (>10$^{15}n_{eq}/cm^2$) while maintaining acceptable performances at hadron colliders. Particles...
High energy physics (HEP) experiments require high-performance detectors to advance the energy, luminosity, and cosmology frontiers. Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been extensively used to detect scintillation light. In recent years, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), an array of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), have become preferable as a solid-state alternative to PMTs due to...
Abstract
Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) are silicon-based devices that can achieve good timing resolution due to their unique internal gain. LGADs are proposed for a wide range of fast-timing applications in high energy physics, nuclear physics, and other precision measurements of rare processes. The p-doped gain layer in an LGAD allows generation of a controlled avalanche of...
