Bent monolithic active pixel sensors are the basis for planned fully cylindrical ultra low material budget tracking detector ITS3 of ALICE experiment. This paper presents results from testbeam campaigns using high-energy particles to verify performance 50 um thick bent ALPIDE chips in terms efficiency and spatial resolution. The were radii 18, 24 30 mm, slightly smaller than foreseen bending future layers. An larger $99.9\%$ a resolution approximately 5 um, line with nominal operation flat...
Abstract The goal of the PolarquEEEst experiment was to measure cosmic charged particle rate at latitudes greater than 66 $$^{\circ }$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msup><mml:mrow /><mml:mo>∘</mml:mo></mml:msup></mml:math> N, where no systematic and accurate measurements sea level have ever been performed.

Abstract The eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano in South Pacific Ocean on January 15, 2022, at about 4:15 UTC, generated a violent explosion, which created atmospheric pressure disturbances form Rayleigh-Lamb waves detected all over globe. Here we discuss observation shock-wave performed Ny-Ålesund Research Station Spitsbergen island, by detectors PolarquEEEst experiment and their ancillary sensors. Online data as well results dedicated offline analysis are presented discussed details....
Abstract In this paper, different Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) sensors have been tested with charged particles to characterize the Cherenkov light produced in sensor protection layer. A careful position scan of SiPM response has performed prototypes, confirming large number firing cells and proving almost full efficiency, filling factor essentially negligible. This study also allowed us time resolution such devices as a function cells, reaching values below 20 ps. These measurements...
