From Light to Energy: Machine Learning Algorithms for Position and Energy Deposition Estimation in Scintillator-SiPM detectors
Yoav Simhon, Alex Segal, Ofer Amrani +1
Scintillator-SiPM Particle Detectors (SSPDs) are compact, low-power devices with applications including particle physics, underground tomography, cosmic-ray studies, and space inst…
Charge Trap Analysis in a SENSEI Skipper-CCD: Understanding Low-Energy Backgrounds in Rare-Event Searches
Agustin Brusco, Bruno Sivilotti, Ana M. Botti +14
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are ultra-low-threshold detectors capable of detecting energy deposits in silicon at the eV scale. Increasingly used in rare-event sea…
SENSEI: A Search for Diurnal Modulation in sub-GeV Dark Matter Scattering
Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti, Mariano Cababie +28
Dark matter particles with sufficiently large interactions with ordinary matter can scatter in the Earth's atmosphere and crust before reaching an underground detector. This Earth-…
IPPOG: a global network for particle physics outreach and education
IPPOG Collaboration
We present the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG), a global network dedi- cated to connecting students, educators, and the general public with the world of parti…
A compact, low-power epithermal neutron counter for lunar water detection
Julian Cuevas-Zepeda, Phoenix Alpine, Brenda A. Cervantes-Vergara +7
The detection and characterization of lunar water are critical for enabling sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon. Orbital neutron spectrometers, such as instrument…
First Demonstration of Underground Muon Imaging at an Archaeological Site in Ancient Jerusalem
Yan Benhammou, Erez Etzion, Yuval Gadot +6
We present a novel underground imaging system that utilizes cosmic-ray muons to explore the subsurface environment at the City of David archaeological site in ancient Jerusalem. Th…
