Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) have emerged as a premier, high-resolution, fully active calorimetric technology for next-generation neutrino detectors such as DUNE. Their main advantages rely on excellent 3D imaging and particle identification capabilities. This is possible thanks to the collection of both electrons and scintillation photons produced after an interaction....

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photon detection for large cryogenic liquid detectors such as DUNE is challenging because photosensors are typically not sensitive to VUV light, while large detection areas are required in limited available space. X-ARAPUCAs are light traps that shift VUV photons to wavelengths around 400 nm and confine the light for detection by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). At...

Noble-element detectors are a cornerstone technology in particle and nuclear physics, and increasingly in applied fields such as medical imaging. While noble elements provide strong scintillation and ionization signals, efficient detection of scintillation light remains a key limitation: emission occurs in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), where most large-area photosensors are blind and...

The COLINA project is developing a novel frustrum-shaped time projection chamber (TPC) for the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) in liquid noble media. Funded by the European Research Council, COLINA includes an extensive R&D program to establish and develop the optimal technology to be implemented in the detector. In this talk, we will present the conical TPC...
