Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles
Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

Shape coexistence in 94Zr from a model-independent analysis
Low-lying states of 94Zr were investigated via low-energy multi-step Coulomb excitation. From the measured γ-ray yields, 16 reduced E2 transition probabilities between low-spin states were determined, together with the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the 2+1,2 states. Based o...

Porcine-derived gelatin sponge SPONGOSTAN™ is an adjunct material routinely used in neurosurgery. This study aimed to describe its MRI features, since its imaging features are not available yet in veterinary medicine. Post-operative MR images of dogs that underwent decompressive...

Beam steering and radiation generation of electrons in bent crystals in the sub-GeV domain
Abstract We present an investigation into beam steering and radiation emission by sub-GeV electrons traversing a bent silicon crystal. Using 855, 600, and 300 MeV electron beams at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI), we explored orientational coherent effects in a 15- $$\upmu $$ <mml:mat...
