We measured the response of BAS-TR imaging plate (IP) to energetic aluminum ions in the 0 to 222 MeV energy range, and compared it with predictions from a Monte Carlo simulation code using two different IP models. Energetic aluminum ions were produced with an intense laser pulse, and the response was evaluated from cross-calibration between CR-39 track detector and IP energy spectrometer. For the first time, we obtained the response function of the BAS-TR IP for aluminum ions in the energy range from 0 to 222 MeV. Notably the IP sensitivity in the exponential model is nearly constant from 36 MeV to 160 MeV.

In this paper we present a method of scintillation detector energy calibration using the gamma-rays. The technique is based on the Compton scattering of gamma-rays in a scintillation detector and subsequent photoelectric absorption of the scattered p
hoton in the Ge-detector. The novelty of this method is that the source of gamma rays, the germanium and scintillation detectors are immediately arranged adjacent to each other. The method presents an effective solution for the detectors consisting of a low atomic number materials, when the ratio between Compton effect and photoelectric absorption is large and the mean path of gamma-rays is comparable to the size of the detector. The technique can be used for the precision measurements of the scintillator light yield dependence on the electron energy.
The DHCAL, the Digital Hadron Calorimeter, is a prototype calorimeter based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). The design emphasizes the imaging capabilities of the detector in an effort to optimize the calorimeter for the application of Particle Fl
ow Algorithms (PFAs) to the reconstruction of hadronic jet energies in a colliding beam environment. The readout of the chambers is segmented into 1 x 1 cm2 pads, each read out with a 1-bit (single threshold) resolution. The prototype with approximately 500,000 readout channels underwent extensive testing in both the Fermilab and CERN test beams. This talk presents preliminary findings from the analysis of data collected at the test beams.
We identify a number of crystalline structures with promising characteristics to serve as a detection medium for a novel Dark Matter (DM) detector with a low threshold energy. A detector of this kind can be specifically useful in application requirin
g the detection of nuclear recoils, such as in direct detection of low mass DM, coherent neutrino scattering and neutrons. We describe a broad band, high sensitivity optical setup designed and constructed for the purpose of this search and future investigations of specific crystals. We report on the fluorescent signals produced from exposure to low doses of neutrons and $gamma$ rays and find potential targets in Quartz, Sapphire, LiF, CaF$_{2}$ and BaF$_{2}$. These crystals and specific signals will be the subject of further study to establish the various traits relevant for a full scale DM detector. In this paper we identify the most interesting signals that will be promoted to significantly more detailed studies, including their production mechanism.
Anisotropic scintillators can offer a unique possibility to exploit the so-called directionality approach in order to investigate the presence of those Dark Matter (DM) candidates inducing nuclear recoils. In fact, their use can overcome the difficul
ty of detecting extremely short nuclear recoil traces. In this paper we present recent measurements performed on the anisotropic response of a ZnWO$_4$ crystal scintillator to nuclear recoils, in the framework of the ADAMO project. The anisotropic features of the ZnWO$_4$ crystal scintillators were initially measured with $alpha$ particles; those results have been also confirmed by the additional measurements presented here. The experimental nuclear recoil data were obtained by using a neutron generator at ENEA-CASACCIA and neutron detectors to tag the scattered neutrons; in particular, the quenching factor values for nuclear recoils along different crystallographic axes have been determined for three different neutron scattering angles (i.e. nuclear recoils energies). From these measurements, the anisotropy of the light response for nuclear recoils in the ZnWO$_4$ crystal scintillator has been determined at 5.4 standard deviations.
We present a compact design for a velocity-map imaging spectrometer for energetic electrons and ions. The standard geometry by Eppink and Parker [A. T. J. B. Eppink and D. H. Parker, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 68, 3477 (1997)] is augmented by just two extend
ed electrodes so as to realize an additional einzel lens. In this way, for a maximum electrode voltage of 7 kV we experimentally demonstrate imaging of electrons with energies up to 65 eV. Simulations show that energy acceptances of <270 and <1,200 eV with an energy resolution of dE / E <5% are achievable for electrode voltages of <20 kV when using diameters of the position-sensitive detector of 42 and 78 mm, respectively.
