In the realm of particle physics, the quest for ever more precise and efficient detection methods is an ongoing pursuit. A cutting-edge technology, Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC), is poised to revolutionize the field by introducing a paradigm-shifting pixelated approach to enhance neutrino detection experiments.
Traditionally, LArTPCs have relied on wire-based projective...
Non-destructive readout capability of the Skipper Charge Coupled Device (CCD) has been proven to be a powerful technique to reduce the noise limitation of conventional silicon devices even to levels that allow single-photon or single-electron counting. The noise reduction is achieved by spending extra time taking several measurements of the same pixel charge. This extra time has been a...
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration will combine the well-established liquid argon and bubble chamber technologies to search for GeV-scale dark matter and the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering from MeV reactor antineutrinos. SBC detectors benefit from the excellent electron-recoil insensitivity inherent in bubble chambers with the addition of energy reconstruction...
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) Collaboration is developing noble liquid bubble chambers for the detection of sub-keV nuclear recoils, enabling both high-exposure GeV-scale dark matter searches and CEvNS measurements using reactor neutrinos. A 10-kg liquid argon bubble chamber is currently under construction at Fermilab in order to calibrate the nuclear recoil threshold in argon down...
We report ongoing efforts in developing superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) for nuclear and particle physics applications. SNSPDs offer unique set of capabilities which are well suited for accelerator facilities with significant cryogenic infrastructure to support operation of superconducting magnets. We will give an overview of targeted applications which leverage new...
We present the latest results in superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) towards large active ares at the 1$\times$1 mm$^{2}$ level and beyond. These large active areas sensors are key to enable HEP experiment looking for axion dark matter candidates in proposed experiments such as BREAD.
We will present the initial characterization of these devices and show in depth...
