Particle accelerators are an invention of the early 20th century that have revolutionized our understanding of the universe and pushed the boundaries of our technological capabilities. These machines not only help scientists probe fundamental physics questions, but are also pillars in many industrial and medical applications. Acceleration of charged particles can be achieved by using...

Ptychography is a lensless X-ray diffraction microscopy technique in which the sample is scanned at pre-defined positions collecting far-field diffraction patterns at each of these scanning positions. The diffraction patterns along with the information regarding the scan positions are then processed using iterative phase retrieval algorithms resulting in high resolution complex transmission...

The ATLAS collaboration is currently preparing to replace the present Inner Detector with the upgraded Inner Tracker (ITk) for Run-IV of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In 2022, modules for the central strip tracker were found to have clusters of electrical noise outside specifications when tested at normal operating temperatures (-35°C), dubbed “Cold Noise”. The cause of Cold Noise lies in...

872. New or Improved? Critical build decisions in the ATLAS ITk Strip End-Cap

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider is set to come online in 2030, producing more than three times the data than its current rate. As such, the ATLAS detector will need to replace its Inner Detector with the Inner Tracker, a full-silicon system. Canada is responsible for building and testing 22% of the strip end-cap subdetector, due to be installed at CERN in 2028.

In 2024, as the...

The MOLLER Experiment at Jefferson Lab, Virginia, will utilize parity-violating electron scattering to measure the asymmetry in Moller scattering, and extract the weak mixing angle with unprecedented precision. The predicted asymmetry is ~33 parts per billion, with a target uncertainly of 0.8 ppb, corresponding to a 2.4% determination of the electron’s weak charge and a projected precision of...
