Three years have passed since the start of the 1ton Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) at Brookhaven National Lab. This detector is by-far the longest running tonne-scale WbLS detector in the world. Since it started, we have completed two phases and a paper has been published showing the initial performance. In the latest phase, phase-III, we initiated a multi-step WbLS injection from 0.3%...

Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) is an innovative material for constructing large-scale detectors in neutrino and dark matter research. The tunable light yield, enabled by an inline circulation system, allows for flexible detector optimization for different physics searches. With adequate photosensor coverage, detecting low-intensity light can reconstruct the momentum of energetic...

Future kilotonne-scale neutrino detectors, such as Theia, aim to leverage new and emerging technologies to simultaneously measure Cherenkov and scintillation light, to enable rich science programs and nonproliferation efforts. To achieve these goals, these hybrid detectors will exploit fast timing photodetectors, novel liquid scintillators, and spectral sorting techniques.

Hybrid neutrino detectors utilize both Cherenkov and scintillation light for event detection and reconstruction - leveraging the lower energy threshold of pure scintillation emission and the enhanced direction resolution afforded by water. The benefits of hybrid technologies provide for advancements in both fundamental physics research and in nuclear nonproliferation applications. Benchtop...

The future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) experiment will require unprecedented levels of precision to reach its physics goals. To this end, efficient reconstruction of photons produced in neutrino-nucleus scattering will be essential. This talk will present a new Compton scattering gamma-ray reconstruction tool that can associate blip-like energy depositions with a primary...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners detect gamma rays resulting from a tracer chemical like fluorine-18.. These gamma rays have been detected in a pixelated Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) optimized for neutrino physics studies. These tests have in part motivated the optimization and design of a LArTPC for application in PET. This talk will present the simulations and...

The Americium-Beryllium (AmBe) source is well-known for the use of gamma and neutron detection calibration in large-scale liquid detectors. At Brookhaven National Lab, we designed a new type of AmBe source combining with Lutetium–yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) crystal. By combining them, the single PE calibration for the PMTs in the liquid detector can be done with the intrinsic LYSO crystal...

Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) requires the development of new ATLAS Liquid
Argon (LAr) Calorimeter readout electronics. The HL-LHC LAr frontend
(FE) readout is implemented on the Frontend Board 2 (FEB2), and is

The CalVision collaboration is developing a dual-readout calorimeter that can be used for precision electromagnetic and hadronic energy resolution, meeting the requirements of future e+e- colliders. The calorimeter will consist of a homogeneous dual-readout crystal electronic calorimeter in front of a dual-readout fiber hadron calorimeter. In order to understand the data recorded from...

Calorimeters play a central role in high-energy physics experiments by enabling precise energy measurements and providing critical information for particle identification and event reconstruction. Advances in calorimeter technology are essential to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of future collider experiments—such as the FCC and muon colliders—as well as non-collider experiments...

Calorimeters play a critical role in current and future high-energy physics experiments. Building on the success of earlier dual-readout calorimeter (DREAM) studies, we developed the HG-DREAM calorimeter at Texas Tech University—a highly granular dual-readout fiber detector instrumented with 896 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). Compared to the original DREAM module using photomultiplier...

Homogeneous inorganic scintillator-based calorimeters are the gold standard for electromagnetic energy resolution, but often degrade the hadronic energy resolution achievable at colliders. By incorporating the dual readout technique, we seek to improve the hadronic energy resolution of these calorimeters through the measurement and separation of the scintillation and Cherenkov light in...
