The Solar Neutrino and Astro-Particle PhYsics (SNAPPY) CubeSat Development
Brian M. Sutin, Edward Bierens, Brian Doty +14
The SNAPPY CubeSat, which was launched May 3, 2026, will demonstrate and space qualify the nuSol neutrino-detection technology. The nuSol technology detects solar neutrinos using a…
Commissioning and Performance of the Trinity Demonstrator
Mahdi Bagheri, Adam Barletta, Jordan Bogdan +18
The Trinity Demonstrator is a proof of concept prototype for the Trinity Neutrino Observatory, which is sensitive to astrophysical neutrinos above PeV energies. The Demonstrator is…
The Camera and Readout for the Trinity Demonstrator and the EUSO-SPB2 Cherenkov Telescope
Mahdi Bagheri, Srikar Gadamsetty, Eliza Gazda +9
We developed a modular silicon photomultiplier camera to detect Earth-skimming PeV to EeV tau neutrinos with the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. We built two cameras, a 25…
Gamma Ray Detection Efficiency of GAGG Crystal Scintillator Using Three Tagged Gamma Ray Techniques
Brian Doty, Nickolas Solomey, Jonathan Folkerts +5
A CubeSat with a prototype scintillating detector with a sensitive volume of GAGG crystal is being developed with a possible launch date of 2025. Its purpose is to characterize the…
