Optical readout of large scale dual-phase liquid Argon TPCs is an attractive alternative to charge readout and has been successfully demonstrated on a 2 × 2 m active region within the CERN protoDUNE cold box. ARIADNE+ uses four Timepix3 cameras imaging the S2 light produced by 16 novel, patent pending, glass THGEMs.
The ARIADNE project is developing innovative optical readout technologies for two-phase liquid Argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs). Optical readout presents an exciting alternative to the current paradigm of charge readout. Optical readout is simple, scalable and cost effective. This paper presents first demonstration of 3D optical readout of TPC, using CF4 gas as a proof of principle.
A cavitation bubble inside a liquid, under a specific set of conditions, can get trapped in an antinode of the ultrasonically driven standing wave and periodically emits visible photons (1,2). This conversion of sound to light phenomenon, known as sonoluminescence, can be seen with unaided eyes and occurs in multi- or single-bubble regimes. The sonoluminescence radiation spectrum analysis at...
In this work we demonstrate spectral-temporal correlation measurements of the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference effect with the use of a spectrometer based on a photon-counting camera. This setup allows us to take, within seconds, spectral temporal correlation measurements on entangled photon sources with sub-nanometer spectral resolution and nanosecond timing resolution.
This paper compares the performance of a multi-piece stacked ring reflectron and one constructed from Resistive Glass. The single-piece Resistive Glass is similar in performance but requires much less maintenance and assembly.
An Ion Mobility Spectrometer using Resistive Glass technology shows improved resolving power when tested across a number of samples.
The precise determination of transverse beam profiles in accelerator and collider systems is critical to proper operation. The high energy physics community has long sought a capability to determine location and focus of charged particle beams racing through accelerator tubes. Imaging a charged particle beam traveling at speeds approaching the speed of light without changing the velocity or ...
This paper discusses the performance of channel electron multipliers designed for use in harsh environments. Increasingly the need for portable machines that operate at high pressure or poor vacuum enviroments are also requiring smaller, more durable detectors. Lifetime and performance results are presented.
Testing was performed on Resistive Glass to characterize resistance uniformity, resistance stability both at room temperature and over temperature change, voltage breakdown and chemical durability.
Custom Mass Spectrometer Detectors and Inlet Tubes for use in Portable Security and Forensic Applications
As analytical instruments become smaller and more portable, it is crucial to good analytical analysis to have compact, high-performing detectors that will operate in a variety of environmental conditions, most notably poor vacuum. This paper presents a wide range of available d...
All Photonis LongLifeTM MCPs are specially designed to provide longer lifetime with superior detection capability with pore sizes as small as 2μm. All Photonis MCPs can be ordered with an exclusive Extended Dynamic Range option that increases detection up to ten times versus traditional MCPs.
Resistive Glass can be used to enhance ion throughput. This paper discusses the construction and test of an ion mobility spectrometer using Resistive Glass drift tubes and reaction tubes, and a unique Bradbury-Nielsen ion gate built using photo-etching technology. In this paper a DART ionization source was used for testing.
This paper discusses the design and manufacture of a square photomultiplier tube (PMT) for use in an MCP-PMT hybrid detector for medical imaging applications. The unique square shape allows multiple units to be tiled together to form a larger image.
