Evaluation of CZT Detector Performance in Alpha and Gamma Spectrometry
N. Kramarenko, M. Väänänen, M. Kalliokoski +3
Presented is a work on the performance studies of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) planar detector structures. Current-voltage (IV), capacitance-voltage (CV), and gamma- and alpha-spec…
Defect detection and size classification in CdTe samples in 3D
M. Väänänen, M. Kalliokoski, R. Turpeinen +4
Defects in semiconductor crystals can have significant detrimental effects on their performance as radiation detectors. Defects cause charge trapping and recombination, leading to…
MoEDAL search in the CMS beam pipe for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger effect
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, S. C. Behera +64
We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb--Pb collisions during Run-1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CM…
Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry: Workshop Summary
Sven Abend, Baptiste Allard, Iván Alonso +250
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world…
Quality assessment of Cadmium Telluride as a detector material for multispectral medical imaging
S. Kirschenmann, M. Bezak, S. Bharthuar +12
Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is a high-Z material with excellent photon radiation absorption properties, making it a promising material to include in radiation detection technologies.…
Search for Highly-Ionizing Particles in pp Collisions at the LHC's Run-1 Using the Prototype MoEDAL Detector
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +68
A search for highly electrically charged objects (HECOs) and magnetic monopoles is presented using 2.2 fb-1 of p - p collision data taken at a centre of mass energy (ECM) of 8 TeV…
Employing infrared microscopy (IRM) in combination with a pre-trained neural network to visualise and analyse the defect distribution in Cadmium Telluride crystals
S. Kirschenmann, S. Bharthuar, E. Brücken +6
While Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) excels in terms of photon radiation absorption properties and outperforms silicon (Si) in this respect, the crystal growth, characterization and proc…
Hole Misalignment and Gain Performance of Gaseous Electron Multipliers
Erik Brücken, Jouni Heino, Timo Hildén +4
It is well known and has been shown that the gain performance of Gaseous Electron Multipliers (GEM) depends on the size of the holes. With an optical scanner it is possible to meas…
First search for dyons with the full MoEDAL trapping detector in 13 TeV pp collisions
B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +66
The MoEDAL trapping detector, consists of approximately 800 kg of aluminium volumes. It was exposed during Run-2 of the LHC program to 6.46 fb^-1 of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions…
Optical quality assurance of GEM foils
T. Hildén, E. Brücken, J. Heino +5
An analysis software was developed for the high aspect ratio optical scanning system in the Detec- tor Laboratory of the University of Helsinki and the Helsinki Institute of Physic…
Turning the LHC Ring into a New Physics Search Machine
Risto Orava
The LHC Collider Ring is proposed to be turned into an ultimate automatic search engine for new physics in four consecutive phases: (1) Searches for heavy particles produced in Cen…
