PIONEER is a next-generation experiment to measure the charged pion branching ratios to electrons vs. muons $R_e/\mu =\frac{\mathsf{\Gamma }\left({\pi }^{+}\to e^{+}\nu \left(\gamma \right)\right)}{\mathsf{\Gamma }\left({\pi }^{+}\to {\mu }^{+}\nu \left(\gamma \right)\right)}$ and pion beta decay (Pib) ${\pi }^{+}\to {\pi }^{0}e\nu$. The pion to muo...

Tracking detectors at future high luminosity hadron colliders are expected to be able to stand unprecedented levels of radiation as well as to efficiently reconstruct a huge number of tracks and primary vertices. To face the challenges posed by the r...

Through-wall and through-barrier motion-sensing systems are becoming increasingly important tools to locate humans concealed behind barriers and under rubble. The sensing performance of these systems is best determined with appropriately designed cal...

High-flux, high-repetition-rate neutron sources are of interest in studying neutron-induced damage processes in materials relevant to fusion, ultimately guiding designs for future fusion reactors. Existing and upcoming petawatt laser systems show gre...

We describe a framework to assemble permanent-magnet cubes in 3D-printed frames to construct dipole, quadrupole, and solenoid magnets, whose field, in the absence of iron, can be calculated analytically in three spatial dimensions. Rotating closely s...

Continuous developments in additive manufacturing (AM) technology are opening up opportunities in novel machining, and improving design alternatives for modern particle accelerator components. One of the most critical, complex, and delicate accelerat...

The development of new bent superconducting magnets together with the optimization of the support structure open the way to a considerable reduction in the weight and complexity of rotating gantries for medical applications. The magnets, which define...

Advanced technical solution for the design of a low perveance electron gun with a high quality beam dedicated to high power Ka-band klystrons is presented in this paper. The proposed electron gun can be used to feed linear accelerating structures at...

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) can be produced by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of SiH₄ (silane) mixed with hydrogen. The resulting material shows outstanding radiation hardness properties and can be deposited on a wide v...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international, world-class experiment aimed at exploring fundamental questions about the universe that are at the forefront of astrophysics and particle physics research. DUNE will study questions...
