TALOS (Total Automation of LabVIEW Operations for Science): A framework for autonomous control systems for complex experiments
M. Volponi, J. Zieliński, T. Rauschendorfer +52
Modern physics experiments are frequently very complex, relying on multiple simultaneous events to happen in order to obtain the desired result. The experiment control system plays…
Real-time antiproton annihilation vertexing with sub-micron resolution
M. Berghold, D. Orsucci, F. Guatieri +63
The primary goal of the AEgIS experiment is to precisely measure the free fall of antihydrogen within Earth's gravitational field. To this end, a cold ~50K antihydrogen beam has to…
The 3 cavity prototypes of RADES, an axion detector using microwave filters at CAST
S. Arguedas Cuendis, A. Álvarez Melcón, C. Cogollos +12
The Relic Axion Detector Experimental Setup (RADES) is an axion search project that uses a microwave filter as resonator for Dark Matter conversion. The main focus of this publicat…
Energy Dependent Features of X-ray Signals in a GridPix Detector
Christoph Krieger, Jochen Kaminski, Theodoros Vafeiadis +1
We report on the calibration of an argon/isobutane (97.7 %/2.3 %)-filled GridPix detector with soft X-rays (277 eV to 8 keV) using the variable energy X-ray source of the CAST Dete…
Micromegas for dark matter searches: CAST/IAXO & TREX-DM
J. G. Garza, S. Aune, J. F. Castel +14
The most compelling candidates for Dark Matter to day are WIMPs and axions. The applicability of gasesous Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) with Micromesh Gas Structures (Micromegas)…
A Micromegas-based low-background x-ray detector coupled to a slumped-glass telescope for axion research
F. Aznar, J. Castel, F. E. Christensen +18
We report on the design, construction and operation of a low background x-ray detection line composed of a shielded Micromegas (micromesh gaseous structure) detector of the microbu…
