Abstract

The bubble nucleation in superheated liquid can be controlled by adjusting the ambient pressure and temperature. At higher pressure the threshold energy for bubble nucleation increases and we have observed that the amplitude of the acoustic emission during vaporisation of superheated droplet decreases with increase in pressure at any given temperature. Other acoustic parameters such as the primary harmonic frequency and the decay time constant of the acoustic signal also decrease with increase in pressure. It is independent of the type of superheated liquid. The decrease in signal amplitude limits the detection of bubble nucleation at higher pressure. This effect is explained by the microbubble growth dynamics in superheated liquid.

The Remote Analog to Digital Conversion DAQ System for the TRISTAN Detector Upgrade

The TRISTAN detector is an upgrade to the KATRIN experiment to enable a differential measurement of the tritium $β$-decay spectrum to search for sterile neutrinos with keV masses. This entails performing precision electron spectroscopy with over one thousand silicon drift detector pixels, each responsible for recording incident electron rates of $10^5$ counts per second. A project specific data acquisition (DAQ) system is developed to meet the experimental challenges through a remote analog to digital conversion (RADC) design. In this work, the conceptual design of the RADC DAQ is presented along with the built system for operating the TRISTAN detector upgrade. The system includes flexible signal processing logic and data management that is optimized for the high-rate precision measurement.

True Alternating Current Scanning Tunneling Microscope (ACSTM): tunneling on insulators

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has revolutionized our atomic scale understanding of surfaces and accelerated progress in nanotechnology. This technique, however, is restricted to metal or semiconducting samples, as it requires a tiny current to stabilize the tip-sample distance with atomic scale precision. We developed a new imaging and feedback method that relies on true alternating current (AC) without any direct current (DC) component. This technique does not only enable the imaging on non-conducting surfaces with atomic step resolution, like (thin) glass and oxides, it provides also access to high-frequency electronic signal coming from the sample. We demonstrate that it is possible to measure on 25nm thick silicon oxide with 10 MHz tunneling current.

Charged-particle topology reconstruction with an in-liquid SiPM array

Liquid scintillator detectors instrumented with photosensors inside the scintillation volume preserve local optical information that is largely lost in conventional boundary-readout geometries. We demonstrate that this information is sufficient for charged-particle topology reconstruction using a sparse three-dimensional lattice of silicon photomultipliers. After validating the Geant4 detector response against measured photon-count distributions, a simulation-trained, time-informed convolutional neural network reconstructs the entry and exit points of through-going muons with median residuals of 1.91~cm and 2.39~cm, respectively. The reconstructed endpoints are geometrically consistent with acceptance regions defined by external trigger counters in cosmic-ray muon data. The same framework also reconstructs the production vertices of simulated positron starting-track events with a median residual of about 4.5~cm. These results establish the feasibility of topology-sensitive reconstruction using sparse in-liquid photosensor arrays in homogeneous liquid scintillator detectors.
