In order to extract neutrino oscillation parameters, precision long-baseline experiments rely on detailed models of interactions with nuclei. These constitute an important source systematic uncertainty, partially because detectors date have been blind final state neutrons. Three-dimensional projection scintillator trackers comprise components the near next generation experiments. Due good timing resolution and fine granularity, this technology is capable measuring neutron kinetic energy in...

A novel scintillator detector, the SuperFGD, has been selected as main neutrino target for an upgrade of T2K experiment ND280 near detector. The detector design will allow nearly 4{\pi} coverage interactions at and provide lower energy thresholds, significantly reducing systematic errors experiment. SuperFGD is made optically-isolated cubes size 10x10x10 mm^3, providing required spatial resolution to reduce uncertainties future runs. have close two million in a 1920x560x1840 mm^3 volume....

The formation of the Earth remains an epoch with mysterious puzzles extending to our still incomplete understanding planet's potential origin and bulk composition. Direct confirmation Earth's internal heat engine was accomplished by successful observation geoneutrinos originating from uranium (U) thorium (Th) progenies, manifestations natural radioactivity dominated potassium (40K) decay chains (238U) (232Th). This radiogenic energy output is critical planetary dynamics must be accurately...

With histopathology results typically taking several days, the ability to stage tumors during interventions could provide a step change in various cancer interventions. X-ray technology has advanced significantly recent years with introduction of phase-based imaging methods. These have been adapted for use standard labs rather than specialized facilities such as synchrotrons, and approaches that enable fast 3D scans conventional x-ray sources developed. This opens possibility produce images...

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...

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments rely on detailed models of interactions nuclei. These constitute an important source systematic uncertainty, partially because detectors to date have been unable detect final state neutrons. A novel three-dimensional projection scintillator tracker will be a component the upgraded off-axis near detector T2K experiment. Due good timing resolution and fine granularity, this technology is capable measuring neutron kinematics in event-by-event basis...

X-ray Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography (PC-CT) increases contrast in weakly attenuating samples, such as soft tissues. In Edge-Illumination (EI) PC-CT, phase effects are accessed from amplitude modulation of the x-ray beam using alternating transmitting and masks placed prior to sample detector. A large field view PC-CT scanner this technique was applied two areas cancer assessment, namely excised breast esophageal tissue. For tissue, Wide Local Excisions (WLEs) were studied...
