Current generation pixel detector readout chips are prone to data congestion and local failures that can cause a larger-scale loss of channels or event data. On-chip intelligent networks between groups of pixels could forego these issues by avoiding single-point-of-failures and dynamic routing around congestion or failed network nodes. We developed a simulation framework to understand key...

Future high-energy physics (HEP) experiments will require increasingly dense, low-noise and power-efficient readout systems capable of operating in extreme environments. Furthermore, these detectors will require an increasing number of functionalities, including, but not limited to power management, high-speed I/O, and low-noise analog front-end electronics. In 2019, the Office of Science...

Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) determines an electron's kinetic energy from the frequency of its cyclotron radiation in a magnetic field. Project 8 developed CRES to make a direct kinematic measurement of the neutrino mass using tritium beta decay with a multi-phase approach toward 40 meV neutrino mass sensitivity. The first two phases demonstrated the principle of CRES...

4H-SiC is a promising material for future collider timing and tracking detectors because of its high carrier saturation velocity, low leakage current, and thermal stability. We present recent progress on 4H-SiC Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) developed by LBNL, NCSU and BNL, covering gain-layer optimization and the first AC-coupled 4H-SiC LGADs.
We studied how gain-layer doping affects...

The aim of the Beryllium Electron capture in Superconducting Tunnel junction (BeEST) experiment is to identify theorized heavy neutrino mass eigenstates. This is investigated via the electron capture (EC) decay of $^{7}$Be by measuring the recoil energy spectrum of the $^{7}$Li product with superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) sensors. To enable precise modeling of the decay's spectral...

Custom-designed analog circuits are fundamental to many particle-detector readout systems, but transistor-level circuit design remains a largely expert-driven and iterative process. We present Open-Source Analog design Machine(OSAM), a framework for AI-assisted transistor-level analog design that combines (g_m/I_D)-based sizing, SPICE simulation, and large-language-model-guided design...

Power-over-Fiber (PoF) provides galvanically isolated power delivery to electronics operating in cryogenic, high-voltage, and electromagnetically sensitive environments. A principal challenge for scaling PoF beyond individual channels is the cold-stage heat load associated with optical-to-electrical conversion. We are developing a pulsed PoF architecture in which optical power is duty-cycled...

Axions are leading dark-matter candidates that may appear in resonant detectors as faint sinusoidal signals buried in detector noise. The TIDMAD benchmark, derived from a real axion dark-matter experiment, provides time-series data sampled at approximately 10 MHz, motivating real-time denoising directly on FPGA-based detector electronics. We present a porting and quantization pipeline for...

Tracking-as-a-service is a way to offload GPU-heavy work to a server when reconstructing tracks in the ITk for the ATLAS Phase-II Event Filter. The design is to have CPU-only Athena clients send hits to a NVIDIA triton server running ACTS traccc algorithm chain. For the reconstructed tracking results to be valid, the client and the server must agree on the detector geometry, conditions and...

Front-end ASIC design for particle detectors requires device models that are accurate under the intended operating conditions. Applying foundry-calibrated compact models, including those available through open-source process design kits (PDK), beyond their characterized operating range, such as at cryogenic temperatures, requires further validation and, where necessary, refinement. We...

f-electrons have weak orbital overlap between their orbitals and neighboring ligand orbitals, which naturally results in materials with small electronic energy scales (low band gaps, small Fermi velocities, etc), making them promising detector candidates for low-mass dark matter for which they are kinetically extremely well matched. Furthermore, they possess anisotropic velocities and...

Project 8 has pioneered the technique of cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES) to probe the neutrino mass. In CRES, a beta decay electron in a magnetic field produces cyclotron radiation that can be detected and used to recover the electron energy; the neutrino mass can be extracted near the endpoint of the electron spectrum. Molecular tritium, the beta source used in previous...

In collider experiments, particle identification (PID) in drift chambers has traditionally relied on the ionization energy loss ($dE/dx$), whose resolution is fundamentally limited by large Landau fluctuations. Instead, cluster counting ($dN/dx$) measures the number of primary ionization clusters, which is Poisson in nature with smaller statistical fluctuations and can offer higher separation...
