The Electron–Ion Collider (EIC) will collide high-energy electron beams with high-energy ion beams over a very wide range of center-of-mass energies up to 140 GeV. The exciting science program imposes very demanding requirements for the detector. The electron-Proton/Ion Collider (ePIC) detector will be the most sophisticated particle detector designed and built to investigate collisions...
In recent years, there have been tremendous progress in novel theragnostic applications, in which one combines traditional diagnosis procedures and therapeutic/surgical interventions for treating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and brain disorders. These procedures would benefit from the next generation of clinical imaging techniques that would allow simultaneous multifaceted assessment of the...
The ALICE Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) underwent a major upgrade during the Long Shutdown 2. Several subsystems have been improved, including the ALICE Inner Tracking System (ITS), which has been entirely replaced. The new pixel-only tracker (ITS2) consists of 7 layers of monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) featuring a pixel size of 27×29 µm², with an intrinsic spatial...
Developed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and Cordin Scientific Imaging, presented in this paper will be the Time Pixel Multiplexing (TPM) sensor, a high-speed camera with variable frame depth. Based around the principle first published by Gil Bub [1], TPM is a 1024x1024 CMOS image sensor with the ability to image at speeds up to 10Mfps by changing which pixels are...
In recent years, development of pixel detectors has evolved from only improving the spatial resolution to also improving the temporal resolution. The ultimate goal is to develop a 4 Dimensional tracking (4D tracking) system capable of combining micrometer spatial resolution with a time resolution in the order of tens of picoseconds.
Low-Gain-Avalanche-Detectors (LGADs) provide a promising...
Calorimetry at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) faces two enormous challenges, particularly in the forward direction: radiation tolerance and unprecedented in-time event pileup. To meet these challenges, the CMS Collaboration is preparing to replace its current endcap calorimeters for the HL-LHC era with a high-granularity calorimeter (HGCAL), featuring a previously unrealized transverse and...
The ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) includes a dual-radiator RICH (dRICH) detector for PID in the forward region. The dRICH will be equipped with 3x3 mm$^2$ silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) for Cherenkov light detection over a surface of $\sim$ 3 m$^2$ ($\sim$ 300k readout channels), representing the first HEP application of SiPMs for single-photon detection. SiPMs are chosen...
The CYGNO collaboration is realising a TPC operating at atmospheric pressure, in which the secondary scintillation of a triple-GEM stack is acquired by a system consisting of Active Pixel Sensors based on sCMOS technology, with more than 4 million pixels each, and fast photo-multipliers. This technology provides information such as the released energy and its spatial profile, 3D direction and...
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment currently measures the effective mass of the electron anti-neutrino by investigating the spectral endpoint of tritium $\beta$-decay. Recently, based on the first two high-activity tritium measurement campaigns, the collaboration published the first sub-eV limit on $m_\nu$ with a value of $m_\nu<0.8\,\rm{eV}$ (90% CL). Given the ultra-luminous...
Some dusts including alpha-ray-emitting radio-active materials are called as "alpha-dust" and their sizes are expected to be less than 100 $\mu$m. These dust are assumed to be generated in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, and their sizes, shapes and nuclear species should be determined to suppress the work list of the decommissioning. In this study, we have developed a prototype of...
