Advances in photocathode development for PICOSEC Micromegas precise-timing detectors
M. Lisowska, F. Guerra, A. Gurpinar +46
The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a~precise-timing gaseous detector that combines a Cherenkov radiator, a~semi-transparent photocathode and a Micromegas amplification stage, targe…
Development of a Multi-Purpose Optical TPC for Neutron-Induced Reaction Studies at SARAF
R. Felkai, M. Borysova, L. Moleri +6
Neutron-induced reactions play a central role in stellar and Big Bang nucleosynthesis models. Yet many of the cross sections remain poorly constrained at astrophysically relevant e…
Towards a Reflective PICOSEC detector?
A. Breskin
PICOSEC is an ultrafast particle-detector concept, combining a photocathode-coated Cherenkov radiator coupled to a gas-avalanche multiplier. Particle-induced Cherenkov photons crea…
Model-independent searches of new physics in DARWIN with a semi-supervised deep learning pipeline
J. Aalbers, K. Abe, M. Adrover +231
We present a novel deep learning pipeline to perform a model-independent, likelihood-free search for anomalous (i.e., non-background) events in the proposed next generation multi-t…
The XLZD Design Book: Towards the Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics
XLZD Collaboration, J. Aalbers, K. Abe +441
This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for XLZD, the next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. In the baseline desi…
Electroluminescence and charge multiplication in liquid xenon with a VCC-like Microstrip Plate
Gonzalo MartÃnez-Lema, Vitaly Chepel, Amos Breskin
We report on the first observation of electroluminescence and charge amplification with a Virtual Cathode Chamber (VCC) microstrips plate immersed in liquid xenon. Both were observ…
