Quenching the scintillation in CF4 Cherenkov gas radiator

Christoph Frei

CF4 is used as a Cherenkov gas radiator in one of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors at the LHCb experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. CF4 is well known to have a high scintillation photon yield in the near and far VUV, UV and in the visible wave ...

Instrumental correction of the uneven PMT aging effect on the calibration constant of a water vapor Raman lidar

Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov

The water vapor profile derived from Raman lidar measurements is obtained by taking the ratio of water vapor and nitrogen Raman-shifted signals. The proportionality factor that converts the signal ratio to water vapor/air mixing ratio is referred to as lid ...

Scintillation detectors based on silicon microfluidic channels

Philippe Renaud, Alessandro Mapelli, Pietro Maoddi

Microfluidic channels obtained by SU-8 photolithography and filled with liquid scintillators were recently demonstrated to be an interesting technology for the implementation of novel particle detectors. The main advantages of this approach are the intrins ...

Fabrication and characterization of monolithically integrated microchannel plates based on amorphous silicon

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Jonas Geissbühler, Andrea Franco

Microchannel plates are vacuum-based electron multipliers for particle—in particular, photon— detection, with applications ranging from image intensifiers to single-photon detectors. Their key strengths are large signal amplification, large active area, mi ...

Quantum-Limited Amplification and Parametric Instability in the Reversed Dissipation Regime of Cavity Optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg, Vivishek Sudhir, Olexiy Feofanov

Cavity optomechanical phenomena, such as cooling, amplification, or optomechanically induced transparency, emerge due to a strong imbalance in the dissipation rates of the parametrically coupled electromagnetic and mechanical resonators. Here we analyze th ...

Photosynthetic reaction centre/carbon nanotube bundle composites

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Dóra Fejes-Kajtár

Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted intense attention to broad range of potential applications. In contrast to the 1D isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), 2D films or bundles made of thousands of tubes have been introd ...
