Overlap-aware segmentation for topological reconstruction of obscured objects
J. Schueler, H. M. Araújo, S. N. Balashov +30
The separation of overlapping objects presents a significant challenge in scientific imaging. While deep learning segmentation-regression algorithms can predict pixel-wise intensit…
Materials Design for the Synthesis of High Strength Radiopure Copper Alloys for Rare Event Detection
Dimitra Spathara, Patrick Knights, Konstantinos Nikolopoulos
Additive-free electroformed copper has emerged as the material of choice in exceptionally radiopure detectors for rare-event searches, based on its radiopurity, physical properties…
Design of high-strength, radiopure, electroformed copper-based alloys for rare-event searches: Impact of layer configuration on heat treatments
D. Spathara, P. Knights, K. Nikolopoulos
State-of-the-art and next-generation rare-event search experiments rely on detector materials with stringent requirements on radiopurity and mechanical performance. Additive-free e…
Searches for light Dark Matter with Spherical Proportional Counters
Patrick Knights, Konstantinos Nikolopoulos
Elucidating the nature of dark matter is a key priority that would involve discovering new fundamental physics and is essential for understanding the structure and evolution of the…
