Fifty thousand hybrid circuits of five different types will be manufactured for the Phase-2 Upgrade of the CMS Outer Tracker. These circuits must undergo a strict quality control process, composed of functional testing and visual inspection, before they can be assembled into modules. [...]

The energy-resolving performance of a synchrotron radiation monochromator can be characterised by measuring the fluorescence response of a gas in scans across characteristic absorption lines. Here, we describe a method using exceptionally narrow absorption features in the soft x-ray range [...]

The mammalian brain shows a complex and hierarchical architecture, whose assessment at all functionally relevant scales requires the establishment of multiomics approaches. In this work, we propose a correlative workflow, which is based on large-scale overview PC-CT scans using the extended beams offered by laboratory μCT sources and parallel beam synchrotron radiation (SR), with subsequent zooms into specific regions-of-interest using cone-beam recordings with nanofocused laboratory sources or SR, and finally SEM in controlled and wellidentified sub-volumes obtained before [...]

Nowadays, high-power and multi-spectral lasers are used in many scientific experiments and industrial processes. Those laser sources can rapidly cause permanent damage to human eyes. [...]

We present mixed reality (MR) tunneling, a novel method to balance the trade-off between limited render performance and high visual quality of video see-through head-mounted displays (VST-HMDs) through fusing images of two types of camera sensors with different resolutions and frame rates. By merging a color video stream from an external stereoscopic camera with the grayscale VST commonly integrated into today’s standalone virtual reality (VR) headsets, we create a perceptually high-resolution and wide field of view VSTHMD prototype.

A glimpse into the most recent searches for Dark Matter at the LHC performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations is presented. The results covered in this document are all based on Run-2 proton-proton collision data recorded at $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ TeV}$ and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of just under 140 $\text{fb}^{-1}$

Detector studies for future experiments rely on advanced software tools to estimate performance and optimize their design and technology choices. The Key4hep project provides a turnkey solution for the full experiment life-cycle based on established community tools such as ROOT, Geant4, DD4hep, Gaudi, PODIO and Spack. [...]

We present preliminary results for a scale setting procedure based on a mixed action strategy consisting of Wilson twisted mass valence fermions at maximal twist on CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of O($a$)-improved Wilson sea quarks. Once the matching of valence and sea quark masses is performed, universality tests are carried out by comparing the continuum-limit results of the mixed action setup to those of the regularisation based solely on O($a$)-improved Wilson fermions. [...]

We present preliminary results for the determination of the leading strange and charm quark-connected contributions to the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon's $g-2$. Measurements are performed on the RC$^{\star}$ collaboration’s QCD ensembles, with $3+1$ flavors of $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions and C$^{\star}$ boundary conditions. [...]
