The planned luminosity increase of the LHC will allow the precise measurement of Higgs boson properties and extend the search for new physics phenomena beyond the standard model. To maintain excellent detection and background rejection capability in the forward region of the ATLAS detector, part of the muon detection system is scheduled to be upgraded during the LHC long shutdown period of...

Millimeter-thick charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are outstanding particle detectors. Although initially developed for near-infrared astronomy, the low pixel noise also makes them the most sensitive detectors to signals from ionizing radiation. By virtue of their very low energy threshold, and their unique capabilities for background characterization based on their high spatial resolution, CCDs...

The Cryogenic Underground Test (CUTE) facility is under construction at SNOLAB, aiming to test the performance of the cryogenic detectors of the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment.
The ‘Ultra Quiet Technique’ (UQT®) is applied to reduce the vibration transmission from an advanced dry dilution refrigerator (CryoConcept, France) that allows operating the cryogenic...
