Fermilab hosts the world's most powerful neutrino beam facility, Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) and the future Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) at Fermilab, which will be even more powerful. The sensitivities of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments that use these beams require precise alignment and monitoring of the beam in a high radiation environment over long...

We propose to use a higher-frequency RF bunch structure for the
primary proton beam on target and precision timing to select different
energy and flavor spectra from a wide-band neutrino beam, based on the
relative arrival times of the neutrinos with respect to the RF bunch
structure. This `stroboscopic' approach is an alternative to
techniques that select different neutrino energy...

We report results from the Askaryan Calorimeter Experiment (ACE), which uses coherent microwave Cherenkov emission from showers passing through Alumina dielectric-loaded waveguides to provide timing fiducials of 2-3 ps per detector element. The "calorimeter" part of ACE is a historical misnomer, since it has a relatively high shower threshold of several hundred GeV. However, in the forward...

Artificially structured materials, also called meta-materials are composite media that can emerge with unusual electromagnetic properties. Owing to Transformation Optics (TO) a wide spectrum of electromagnetic devices with extraordinary pre-designed functions enters the stage. As the development of meta-materials progresses, many of novel electromagnetic devices designed with TO have been...

The identification of dark matter is presently one of the greatest challenges in science, fundamental to our understanding of the Universe. In this talk we will present the latest developments in the search for low-mass dark matter with the Snowball chamber. This chamber uses supercooled water as the target, employing an exotic phase transition of metastable water in a similar fashion to a...

ABRACADABRA is an experiment that searches for axion dark matter (ADM) in the $10^{-14} - 10^{-6}\mathrm{eV}/c^2$ mass range. In ABRACADABRA, ADM couples to the static magnetic field of a toroidal magnet. This coupling induces a small, oscillating magnetic flux in the center of the torus that can be measured by a pickup loop connected to a SQUID current sensor. Both broadband and resonant...

We propose a low-cost and movable setup to probe minicharged particles (or milli-charged particles) using high-intensity proton fixed-target facilities. This proposal, FerMINI, consists of a milliQan-type detector, requiring multi-coincident (nominally, triple-coincident) scintillation signatures within a small time window, located downstream of the proton target of a neutrino experiment....

Detecting light from the single to the few photon level is important for many applications in science, including quantum key distribution, high-resolution lidar, biology, and high-energy physics. In the past decades, exquisite performance has been reached for new types of photodetectors, including superconducting nanowires, avalanche photodiodes, and those harnessing CMOS technology. Still...

Abstract.
In materials used for quantum and superconducting detectors several classes of objects demonstrate glass-like behavior at low temperatures. These are non-equilibrium configurations of surface and interfacial charges, magnetic moments of impurities, nuclear dipole magnetic and quadrupole electric moments, quantized vortexes, etc. Electromagnetic signals applied to device and leaking...
