Contributions to a conference proceedings

The tracking system of the ATLAS experiment will be upgraded for the upcoming High-Luminosity Upgrade of the LHC (HL-LHC). The main building blocks of the new strip tracker aresilicon-strip modules that consist of a sensor and hybrid PCB’s. [...]

Advancements in synchrotron and X-ray free-electron sources and associated developments in instrumentation and techniques offer many new possibilities for researchers. At the same time there is increasing demand and pressure to implement the FAIR data principles by which data should be made Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. [...]

The Turkish Soft X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (TXPES) beamline project at the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) synchrotron, led by Turkish Energy Nuclear and Mineral Research Agency (TENMAK) is an important development as it marks SESAME’s first beamline fully designed, manufactured, and installed by a member country, Turkiye in 2025. TXPES will be installed on the free branch of the Helmholtz-SESAME Soft X-Ray Beamline (HESEB) and will share the same photon source and monochromator. [...]

PERCIVAL is a novel soft X-ray detection system designed for the needs of modern microscopy. By integrating it into the TwinMic end-station at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, we conducted an exploratory computational microscopy experiment on biological samples, aiming at evaluating the entire system in a real use-case scenario. [...]

The x-ray spectra recorded with high-resolution spectrometers onboard satellite observatories contain valuable information about a wide range of different hot astrophysical environments. However, our ability to extract this information is currently often limited by the availability and accuracy of atomic data, as they are the foundation of plasma models. [...]

The availability of intense X-ray beams at megahertz repetition rate allows for new scattering and imaging experiments using the unique pulse train structure of the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (EuXFEL). However, the resulting heat load can pose challenges for X-ray optics and potentially limit the efficiency. [...]

Percival is a CMOS-based imager with 2 megapixels, also called P2M, designed for photon science experiments. The first generation of the P2M sensor showed some performance issues. [...]

The Large Hadron Collider has delivered exceptionally large proton–proton collision datasets at high centre-of-mass energies. These datasets, collected by the ATLAS and CMS detectors, enable precision tests of theoretical predictions using extensive samples of top-quark events. [...]

A ubiquitous feature of accreting black hole systems is their hard X-ray emission which is thought to be produced through Comptonization of soft photons by pairs in the vicinity of the black hole. The origin and composition of this hot plasma source, known as the corona, is a matter open for debate. [...]

Preserving the quality of positron beams in plasma-based accelerators, where wakefields are generated in electron filaments, is challenging. These wakefields are characterized by transversely non-linear focusing fields and non-uniform accelerating fields. [...]
