The milliQan collaboration is on track to finish the installation and commissioning of their Run 3 detector before the end of the YETS, Components of both the “bar” and “slab” detectors have been placed in a tunnel above the CMS experimental cavern…
Read moreHigh-performance electromagnetic calorimeters often make use of inorganic crystal scintillators. Their high density makes them well suited for the construction of large homogeneous detectors where the scintillating material simultaneously serves as…
Read moreA wide range of gas mixtures is used for the operation of different gaseous detectors for particle physics research. Among them there are greenhouse gases like C2H2F4 (R134a), CF4 (R14), C4F10 (R610) and SF6, which are needed because they allow to…

Read moreSHINE (SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) [1] is a multi-purpose experiment studying hadron production in hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions. The programme on strong interactions includes studying the properties…
Read moreThe NA62 experiment at CERN studies kaon decays using a decay-in-flight technique, with the primary aim of the precise measurement of the K+ → π+νν branching fraction. The kaons are delivered to the experiment in a beam of 75 GeV/c positively-…
Read moreInstallation location of the LHCf Arm2 detector in the absorber region 140m right of the ATLAS interaction point The first LHCf special run of the LHC Run 3 was successfully completed in September 2022, with the LHC providing the highest…
Read moreOn axions The cosmologically established cold dark matter (CDM) makes about 84% of the Universe's total mass. In the era of precision cosmology, the composition of the CDM remains a mystery. Among the proposed hypothetical particles which could…
Read moreThe outcome of the first year of data-taking after LS2 [1] was fruitful for n_TOF. The long beam-on period, along with the establishment of a third experimental area, the NEAR Station, resulted in a wealth of new experimental data taken at the…
Read moreAMS, passed the milestone of its first 10 years of continuous operation on the International Space Station. AMS is a particle physics detector designed to measure antiparticles, particles, and nuclei of rigidity (momentum/charge) ranging from the GV…
