The Crilin calorimeter is a semi-homogeneous calorimetric system that uses Lead Fluoride (PbF 2 ) crystals with UV-extended Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). Proposed for the Muon Collider, it requires high granularity to distinguish signal particles and address substructures jet identification. Anticipating substantial occupancy due beam-induced backgrounds, simulations indicate photon flux an average energy of 1.7 MeV approximately 4.5 MHz/cm fluence rate. Prioritizing time-of-arrival...
The Fermilab Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program aims to observe and reconstruct thousands of neutrino-argon interactions with its three detectors (SBND, MicroBooNE, ICARUS-T600), using their hundred-ton scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers perform a rich physics analysis program, in particular focused on the search for sterile neutrinos. Given relatively shallow depth detectors, continuous flux cosmic ray particles crossing volumes introduces constant background which can be...

Background: Heavy charged particles after nuclear muon capture are an important physics background to the muon-to-electron conversion experiments Mu2e and COMET, which will search for lepton flavor violation at unprecedented level of sensitivity.Purpose: The AlCap experiment aimed measure yield energy spectra protons, deuterons, tritons, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ emitted muons stopped in Al, Si, Ti low-energy range relevant experiments.Methods: Individual particle types were identified layered...
The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon TPC designed for short-baseline neutrino physics, currently running at Fermilab. Due to its location near the surface, cosmic muons can be source of backgrounds many analyses and having good understanding rays will very valuable experiment. These proceedings describe physics motivation, setup, performance small external muon counter system, which provide improved calibration better cosmogenic background.

We present the characterization of a novel radiation detector based on an opaque water-based liquid scintillator. Opaque scintillators, also known as LiquidO, are made to be highly scattering, such that scintillation light is effectively confined, and read out through wavelength-shifting fibers. The 1-liter, 32-channel prototype demonstrates capability for both spectroscopy topological reconstruction point-like events. design, construction, evaluation described, including modeling optical...
