Efficient and all-carbon electrical readout of a NV based quantum sensor
Guillaume Villaret, Ludovic Mayer, Martin Schmidt +6
The spin readout of an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond can be realized by a photoconductive detection that is a complementary method to the optical detection o…
Measuring nanoscale magnetic write head fields using a hybrid quantum register
Ingmar Jakobi, Philipp Neumann, Ya Wang +7
The generation and control of nanoscale magnetic fields are of fundamental interest in material science and a wide range of applications. Nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging quant…
Latest Updates from the AlCap Experiment
Andrew Edmonds
The AlCap experiment is a joint venture between the COMET and Mu2e collaborations that will measure the rate and spectrum of particles emitted after nuclear muon capture on alumini…
All-optical control of the silicon-vacancy spin in diamond at millikelvin temperatures
Jonas Nils Becker, Benjamin Pingault, David Groà +7
The silicon-vacancy center in diamond offers attractive opportunities in quantum photonics due to its favorable optical properties and optically addressable electronic spin. Here,…
Exposure Effects on Count Outcomes with Observational Data, with Application to Incarcerated Women
Bonnie E. Shook-Sa, Michael G. Hudgens, Andrea K. Knittel +14
Causal inference methods can be applied to estimate the effect of a point exposure or treatment on an outcome of interest using data from observational studies. For example, in the…
Feed-forward neural network unfolding
Ming-Liang Wong, Andrew Edmonds, Chen Wu
A feed-forward neural network is demonstrated to efficiently unfold the energy distribution of protons and alpha particles passing through passive material. This model-independent…
Towards a Swiss National Research Infrastructure
Peter Kunszt, Sergio Maffioletti, Dean Flanders +9
In this position paper we describe the current status and plans for a Swiss National Research Infrastructure. Swiss academic and research institutions are very autonomous. While be…
Mu2e Straw Tube Tracker Gas Flow Quality Control
Vishal Bharatwaj, Scott N. Israel, Mamta Jangra +14
We present a tracker gas flow quality control method developed for the Mu2e straw tube tracker. Using time-dependent current measurements, we quantify the onset time of ionization…
A Measurement of Proton, Deuteron, Triton and Alpha Particle Emission after Nuclear Muon Capture on Al, Si and Ti with the AlCap Experiment
AlCap Collaboration, Andrew Edmonds, John Quirk +24
Heavy charged particles after nuclear muon capture are an important nuclear physics background to the muon-to-electron conversion experiments Mu2e and COMET, which will search for…
Using Machine Learning to Select High-Quality Measurements
Andrew Edmonds, David Brown, Luciano Vinas +1
We describe the use of machine learning algorithms to select high-quality measurements for the Mu2e experiment. This technique is important for experiments with backgrounds that ar…
