Demonstration of particle tracking with scintillating fibres read out by a SPAD array sensor and application as a neutrino active target

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Paul Mos, Kodai Kaneyasu, Michael Alan Wayne

Scintillating fibre detectors combine sub-mm resolution particle tracking, precise measurements of the particle stopping power and sub-ns time resolution. Typically, fibres are read out with silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). Hence, if fibres with a few hund ...

Hint for a TeV neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with ANTARES

Andrii Neronov, Javier García Hernández, Randoald Müller

Interactions of cosmic ray protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons in the interstellar medium in the inner part of the Milky Way produce γ-ray flux from the Galactic Ridge. If the γ-ray emission is dominated by proton and nuclei interactions, a neutrino flux ...

Experimental study of wakefields driven by a self-modulating proton bunch in plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Ivo Furno, Patrick Blanchard, Alan Howling, Yanis Andrebe, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Sun Hee Kim, Ishkhan Gorgisyan

We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growth and amplitude increase with increasing seed amplitude as well as with the ...

Compact solid-state CMOS single-photon detector array for in vivo NIR fluorescence lifetime oncology measurements

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, François Eric Powolny, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle, Krisztian Homicsko, Riccardo Sinisi, David Li

In near infrared fluorescence-guided surgical oncology, it is challenging to distinguish healthy from cancerous tissue. One promising research avenue consists in the analysis of the exogenous fluorophores' lifetime, which are however in the (sub-)nanosecon ...

Analysis of Femtosecond Electron Bunches at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility

Bennie Smit

The SwissFEL (Swiss Free Electron Laser) is a free electron laser which is being built at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The SwissFEL will be a user facility to study processes on unexplored scales of space and time. In order to achieve these aims, X-ray pul ...

Neutrino Analysis Of The 2010 September Crab Nebula Flare And Time-Integrated Constraints On Neutrino Emission From The Crab Using Icecube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

We present the results of a search for high-energy muon neutrinos with the IceCube detector in coincidence with the Crab Nebula flare reported on 2010 September by various experiments. Due to the unusual flaring state of the otherwise steady source we perf ...

An absence of neutrinos associated with cosmic-ray acceleration in gamma-ray bursts

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

Very energetic astrophysical events are required to accelerate cosmic rays to above 10(18) electronvolts. GRBs (c-ray bursts) have been proposed as possible candidate sources(1-3). In the GRB 'fireball' model, cosmic-ray acceleration should be accompanied ...

Slow and fast light in optical fibres

Luc Thévenaz

The ubiquitous role of optical fibres in modern photonic systems has stimulated research to realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. Recent progress in developing optically controlled delays in optical fibres ...

Simple scheme for realizing fast light with low distortion in optical fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin

In a previous paper (Song et al., 2005) we reported the first experimental demonstration of pulse advancement with gain in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We tested the two methods described above to achieve gain-assisted fast l ...
