    Increasing sensitivity in rare event search experiments requires the development and characterization of novel background rejection techniques and technologies. To aid in the development of these techniques for future liquid Argon (LAr) detectors, an R&D detector “Argon-1” has been commissioned at Carleton University. Argon-1 is a single phase 35 kg LAr test detector, employing 65+ channels...

    The Cryogenic Underground TEst facility (CUTE), located approximately 2 kilometers underground at SNOLAB, has been operational since 2019. It provides a well-shielded, low-background environment, ideal for testing cryogenic detectors for rare event searches. The primary focus of CUTE is to test detectors in preparation for their use in the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS)...

    Hyper-K will be a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment in Japan with the main goal of measuring the neutrino flavour mixing parameters and discovering CP violation in the neutrino sector. Its detector complex will benefit from the construction of the Intermediate Water Cherenkov Detector (IWCD). The IWCD will measure the un-oscillated neutrino flux at different off-axis angles,...

    As dark matter searches aim to achieve lower energy thresholds, it is important to understand the behaviour of the detectors in these new regimes. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) offer a simple and flexible source of photons with energy ranges from 0.3 eV (mid-infrared) to 5 eV (near ultraviolet). Prototype cryogenic silicon detectors developed by the SuperCDMS collaboration have been able to...
