RDC 1 Noble Element Detectors

Parallel session talk

The Noble Liquid Test Facility (NLTF) at Fermilab is a liquid argon detector R&D facility open to the national and international HEP community. The facility consists of 4 permanent cryostats, ranging from 250L up to 3000L, open space for small open dewar testing and an optical test stand facility capable of measuring the optical properties of materials and characterizing photon detectors....

189. Optical Characterization of Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes

Gabriele Giacomini (Brookhaven National Laboratory (US))

RDC 11 Fast Timing

Parallel session talk

We characterized a type of Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) fabricated at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. LGADs are a type of silicon avalanche photodiodes originally developed for the fast detection of minimum ionizing particles for high-energy particle detectors. We study its detection capability on different types of ionization particles, such as X-rays, gamma-rays, alphas, and examine...

109. Modern Electronics Education with AI/ML and FPGA

Keisuke Yoshihara (University of Hawaii at Manoa)

RDC 4 Readout & ASICs

Parallel session talk

PHYS476 at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is an upper-division course that teaches modern electronics through real-world applications in experimental physics. Students gain hands-on experience with digital circuit design, FPGA programming, and AI/ML techniques for real-time data analysis, combining laboratory work with targeted lectures.

The course centers on project-based learning....
