Laboratory of cryogenic detectors

Short description

It is a laboratory in which research on  neutrino detection in cryogenic detectors are carried out. 
In particular detection of particle accelerators neutrino interactions. 

Research themes

• tests of the operation of light detectors, specifically  Silicon Photomultiplier  or SiPM, immersed in cryogenic fluids (nitrogen / liquid argon) for the  detection of accelerator neutrinos
• Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics
• NU@FNAL, CUORE experiments
• tests of cold front end electronics 
• Functional test of theShort-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Icarus detector PMT power supply system
• Development of the slow-control of the PMTs of Icarus 

Instrumentation

• Liquid nitrogen dewars 
• High voltage power supplies
• Class 3R or 3B laser, wavelength 407nm
• AI / AO connection cards with Ethernet interface
• 1 pc for seismometric data processing (Heart), 1 pc for graphic interface development (Icarus) 

Teaching and training

The Cryogenic Detectors Laboratory offers its resources to support development of research projects for PhD students and postdoctoral students.
