Acceptance tests of Hamamatsu R7081 photomultiplier tubes
O. A. Akindele, A. Bernstein, S. Boyd +29
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are traditionally an integral part of large underground experiments as they measure the light emission from particle interactions within the enclosed d…
Report of the Topical Group on Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors for Snowmass 2021
B. Surrow, M. Titov, S. Vahsen +10
This report summarizes white papers on micro-pattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) that were submitted to the Instrumentation Frontier Topical Group IF05, as part of the Snowmass 2021…
MPGDs for TPCs at future lepton colliders
Alain Bellerive, Jochen Kaminski, Peter M. Lewis +13
This submission will focus on advancements and advantages of Micro Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD) technologies and their applications to the construction of a dedicated Time Projectio…
A TPC-based tracking system for a future Belle II upgrade
Andreas Löschcke Centeno, Christian Wessel, Peter M. Lewis +4
In the next decade, intensity frontier experiments will require tracking systems that are robust against high event and background rates while maintaining excellent tracking perfor…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
Measurements of Beam Backgrounds in SuperKEKB Phase 2
Zachary J. Liptak, Antonio Paladino, Luka Santelj +66
The high design luminosity of the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider will result in challenging levels of beam-induced backgro\ unds in the interaction region. Understanding and…
Application of recoil-imaging time projection chambers to directional neutron background measurements in the SuperKEKB accelerator tunnel
J. Schueler, S. E. Vahsen, P. M. Lewis +6
Gaseous time projection chambers (TPCs) with high readout segmentation are capable of reconstructing detailed 3D ionization distributions of nuclear recoils resulting from elastic…
Primary track recovery in high-definition gas time projection chambers
P. M. Lewis, M. T. Hedges, I. Jaegle +3
We develop and validate a new algorithm called \textit{primary track recovery} (\ptr) that effectively deconvolves known physics and detector effects from nuclear recoil tracks in…
First 3D vector tracking of helium recoils for fast neutron measurements at SuperKEKB
M. T. Hedges, S. E. Vahsen, I. Jaegle +4
We present results from the first deployment of novel, high definition, compact gas Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) with pixel chip readout as part of the BEAST II beam background…
A time resolved study of injection backgrounds during the first commissioning phase of SuperKEKB
Miroslav Gabriel, Frank Simon, Hendrik Windel +13
We report on measurements of beam backgrounds during the first commissioning phase of the SuperKEKB collider in 2016, performed with the plastic scintillator and silicon photomulti…
Directionally Accelerated Detection of an Unknown Second Reactor with Antineutrinos for Mid-Field Nonproliferation Monitoring
D. L. Danielson, O. A. Akindele, M. Askins +67
When monitoring a reactor site for nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the presence of an unknown or hidden nuclear reactor could be obscured by the activities of a known reactor of…
Readout technologies for directional WIMP Dark Matter detection
J. B. R. Battat, I. G. Irastorza, A. Aleksandrov +90
The measurement of the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils is a compelling but technologically challenging strategy to provide an unambiguous signature of the detection of Ga…
