Toward High-Resolution Detection of Target Fragmentation: TEA-Sensitized NIT for Proton Therapy Applications
V. Boccia, T. Asada, A. Alexandrov +96
Nano Imaging Trackers (NIT) are fine-grained nuclear emulsions capable of tracking charged particles with sub-micrometric spatial resolution. The DAMON (Direct Measurement of Targe…
Environmental sub-MeV neutron measurement at the Gran Sasso surface laboratory with a super-fine-grained nuclear emulsion detector
T. Shiraishi, S. Akamatsu, T. Naka +8
The measurement of environmental neutrons is particularly important in the search for new physics, such as dark matter particles, because neutrons constitute an often-irreducible b…
Development of New Tracking Detector with Fine-grained Nuclear Emulsion for sub-MeV Neutron Measurement
T. Shiraishi, I. Todoroki, T. Naka +3
In this study, we have developed a new sub-MeV neutron detector that has a high position resolution, energy resolution, directional sensitivity, and low background. The detector is…
Optical shape analysis based on discrete Fourier transform and second order moment calculation of the brightness distribution for the detection of sub-micron range low energy tracks
Atsuhiro Umemoto, Tatsuhiro Naka, Toshiyuki Nakano +3
To recognize sub-micron range low energy tracks recorded in a super fine grained nuclear emulsion (Nano Imaging Tracker), an elliptical fitting method was devised to analyze anisot…
Measurement of ambient neutrons in an underground laboratory at Kamioka Observatory and future plan
Keita Mizukoshi, Ryosuke Taishaku, Keishi Hosokawa +7
Ambient neutrons are one of the most serious backgrounds for underground experiments in search of rare events. The ambient neutron flux in an underground laboratory of Kamioka Obse…
Super resolution plasmonic imaging microscopy for submicron tracking emulsion detector
Atsuhiro Umemoto, Tatsuhiro Naka, Andrey Alexandrov +1

The development of super fine-grained nuclear emulsion
Takashi Asada, Tatsuhiro Naka, Ken-ichi Kuwabara +1
A nuclear emulsion with micronized crystals is required for the tracking detection of submicron ionizing particles, which are a target of dark matter detection and other methods. W…
Readout technologies for directional WIMP Dark Matter detection
J. B. R. Battat, I. G. Irastorza, A. Aleksandrov +90
The measurement of the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils is a compelling but technologically challenging strategy to provide an unambiguous signature of the detection of Ga…
