The CONUS experiment is located at the nuclear power plant of Brokdorf, Germany, at 17m distance from the reactor core. It aims at detecting coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering with four high-purity point contact Germanium detectors with a noise threshold in the range of 300 eV inside an elaborate shield. Proximity to a reactor core requires an in-depth understanding of the neutron...
The RED-100 is a two-phase emission detector created to investigate coherent elastic neutrino scattering off xenon nuclei. Its active volume has a cylindrical shape with sizes of ~ 40 cm. The total mass of liquid xenon in the detector equals 200 kg. The detector performance provides sensitivity down to a single ionization electron while allows operation at a ground surface environment. In this...
Progress and plans for the Ricochet experiment.
Last results from the CONNIE collaboration and prospects for next generation of experiments based on Skipper CCD.
The Advanced Imager Technology group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory designs and fabricates detectors and readout circuits for imaging applications in support of National Security and scientific exploration. The group has a long history of supplying silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) for the astronomy community, including detectors for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the...
