We present recent progress towards the development of 4D-trackers with high granularity in position in time. As future colliders move to higher energy collisions, with increased particle occupancy, the need for 4D (spatial and temporal) tracking systems becomes extremely important to maintain the desired particle reconstruction efficiency. Additionally, the use of timing information is...
The BABAR collaboration has recently presented a dedicated measurement of additional radiation in ISR $e^+e^-\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-\gamma$ and$e^+e^-\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ events. Results are presented at next-to- and next-to-next-to-leading order, with one and two additional photons, respectively, for radiation from the initial and final states. Comparison with predictions from the...
The Main Injector Experiment v-A (MINERvA) at Fermilab is a dedicated neutrino-nucleus scattering experiment that employs the NuMI neutrino beam. The MINERvA detector is composed of a fine-grained scintillator tracker with electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry regions. Upstream of the central tracker, alternating layers of scintillator strips and passive nuclear targets allow for the study...
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are low-threshold quantum sensors designed to detect UV, optical and infrared photons. SNSPDs have enabled high-fidelity quantum teleportation, deep space optical communications, exoplanet transit spectroscopy, searches for bosonic and fermionic DM, and have recently been proposed to search for quantum gravity in tabletop experiments....
