We developed a low-mass and high-efficiency charged particle detector for an experimental study of the rare decay $K_L rightarrow pi^0 u bar{ u}$. The detector is important to suppress the background with charged particles to the level below the signal branching ratio predicted by the Standard Model (O(10$^{-11}$)). The detector consists of two layers of 3-mm-thick plastic scintillators with wavelength shifting fibers embedded and Multi Pixel Photon Counters for readout. We manufactured the counter and evaluated the performance such as light yield, timing resolution, and efficiency. With this design, we achieved the inefficiency per layer against penetrating charged particles to be less than $1.5 times 10^{-5}$, which satisfies the requirement of the KOTO experiment determined from simulation studies.

A large 4$pi$ array of charged particle detectors has been developed at Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre to facilitate high resolution charged particle reaction and spectroscopy studies by detecting event-by-event the charged reaction products emitte
d in heavy ion reactions at energy $sim$ 10-60 MeV/A. The forward part ($theta sim pm $ $7^{0}$ - $pm 45^{0}$) of the array consists of 24 highly granular, high resolution charged particle telescopes, each of which is made by three layers [single sided silicon strip($Delta$E) + double sided silicon strip (E/$Delta$E) + CsI(Tl)(E)]of detectors. The backward part of the array consists of 112 CsI(Tl) detectors which are capable of detecting primarily the light charged particles (Z $le$ 2) emitted in the angular range of $theta sim pm $ $45^{0}$ - $pm 175^{0}$. The extreme forward part of the array ($theta sim pm $ $3^{0}$ - $pm 7^{0}$) is made up of 32 slow-fast plastic phoswich detectors that are capable of detecting light (Z $le$2) and heavy charged particles (3 $le$ Z $lesssim$ 20) as well as handling high count rates. The design, construction and characterization of the array has been described.
An implementation of a novel of glass-based detector with fast response and wide detection range is needed to increase resolution for ultra-high energy cosmic rays detection. Such detector has been designed and built for the Horizon-T detector system
at Tien Shan high-altitude Science Station. The main characteristics, such as design, duration of the detector pulse and calibration of a single particle response are discussed.
In this LOI we propose a dedicated experiment that would detect milli-charged particles produced by pp collisions at LHC Point 5. The experiment would be installed during LS2 in the vestigial drainage gallery above UXC and would not interfere with CM
S operations. With 300 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, sensitivity to a particle with charge $mathcal{O}(10^{-3})~e$ can be achieved for masses of $mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV, and charge $mathcal{O}(10^{-2})~e$ for masses of $mathcal{O}(10)$ GeV, greatly extending the parameter space explored for particles with small charge and masses above 100 MeV.
A hybrid photo-detector (HPD) consisting of a photocathode and a multi-pixel avalanche diode (MP-AD) was developed a few years ago. Our previous studies showed that its inherent potential for high resolution photon counting could be further enhanced
by reducing fluctuations in charge loss in the dead layer at the entrance of the MP-AD. In this paper, we report on the improvement with the newly developed HPD whose encapsulated MP-AD has a thinner dead layer than before. It is demonstrated that the new HPD has much better energy resolution, which enables clearer counting up to nine photoelectrons. Further enhancement of the photocathode sensitivity of the HPD is also discussed.
Following work done in the energy region above 100 keV, the high-precision calibration of a co-axial high-purity germanium detector has been continued in the energy region below 100 keV. Previous measurements or Monte-Carlo simulations have been repe
ated with higher statistics and new source measurements have been added. A precision as in the high-energy part, i.e. an absolute precision for the detection efficiency of 0.2%, has been reached. The low-energy behaviour of the germanium detector was further scrutinized by studying the germanium X-ray escape probability for the detection of low-energy photons. In addition, one experimental point, a gamma ray at 2168 keV from the decay of 38K, has been included for the total-to-peak ratios agreeing well with simulations. The same gamma ray was also added for the single- and double-escape probabilities. Finally, the long term stability of the efficiency of the germanium detector was investigated by regularly measuring the full-energy peak efficiency with a precisely calibrated 60Co source and found to be perfectly stable over a period of 10 years.
