Abstract SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment designed to perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC in pseudo-rapidity region of 7.2 < η 8.4. The located 480 m downstream ATLAS interaction point, TI18 tunnel. detector composed hybrid system based on an 830 kg target made tungsten plates, interleaved emulsion electronic trackers, also acting as electromagnetic calorimeter, followed by hadronic calorimeter muon identification system. able distinguish interactions...
A bstract We present results of the Relic Axion Dark-Matter Exploratory Setup (RADES), a detector which is part CERN Solar Telescope (CAST), searching for axion dark matter in 34.67 μ eV mass range. radio frequency cavity consisting 5 sub-cavities coupled by inductive irises took physics data inside CAST dipole magnet first time using this filter-like haloscope geometry. An exclusion limit with 95% credibility level on axion-photon coupling constant g aγ ≳ 4 × 10 − 13 GeV 1 over range 34 ....
The CAST-CAPP axion haloscope, operating at CERN inside the CAST dipole magnet, has searched for axions in 19.74 $\mu$eV to 22.47 mass range. detection concept follows Sikivie haloscope principle, where Dark Matter convert into photons within a resonator immersed magnetic field. is an array of four individual rectangular cavities inserted strong phase-matched maximize sensitivity. Here we report on data acquired 4124 h from 2019 2021. Each cavity equipped with fast frequency tuning mechanism...
We report the direct observation of muon neutrino interactions with SND@LHC detector at Large Hadron Collider. A dataset proton-proton collisions sqrt[s]=13.6 TeV collected by in 2022 is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity 36.8 fb^{-1}. The search based on information from active electronic components detector, which covers pseudorapidity region 7.2<η<8.4, inaccessible other experiments collider. Muon candidates are identified through their charged-current interaction topology, a...
Abstract The Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the LHC (SND@LHC) started taking data beginning of Run 3 LHC. experiment is designed to perform measurements with neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions an energy range between 100 GeV 1 TeV. It covers a previously unexplored pseudo-rapidity $$7.2<\eta <8.4$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>7.2</mml:mn> <mml:mo><</mml:mo> <mml:mi>η</mml:mi> <mml:mn>8.4</mml:mn> </mml:mrow>...
Hypothetical axions provide a compelling explanation for dark matter and could be emitted from the hot solar interior. The CERN Axion Solar Telescope has been searching via their back conversion to x-ray photons in 9-T 10-m long magnet directed toward Sun. We report on an extended run with International Observatory pathfinder detector, doubling previous exposure time. detector was operated xenon-based gas mixture part of new run, providing technical insights future configurations. No counts...
We report on a first measurement with sensitive opto-mechanical force sensor designed for the direct detection of coupling real chameleons to matter. These dark energy candidates could be produced in Sun and stream unimpeded Earth. The KWISP detector installed CAST axion search experiment at CERN looks tiny displacements thin membrane caused by mechanical effect solar chameleons. are detected Michelson interferometer homodyne readout scheme. benefits from focusing action ABRIXAS X-ray...
Analytical and numerical calculations of threshold behavior electro-optical characteristics in twisted chiral nematic layers are presented, when weak anchoring the tilt twist angle director is assumed. An analytical expression for effective Fréedericksz voltage derived. In cells with bistabilities, we investigate influence parameters device on width hysteresis. Using 4×4-matrix formalism Berreman [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 62, 502 (1972)], demonstrate transmission-versus-voltage characteristic.
