Recent developments regarding metallic magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) have resulted in a new class of detectors for precision X-ray spectroscopy. One of them being the maXs series of detectors [1] (cryogenic microcalorimeter arrays for high resolution X-ray spectroscopy), which have been developed within the SPARC collaboration. They work as follows: The energy deposition of an incident X-ray...
For the approaching High-Luminosity-Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN the development of the new detector systems will soon reach the production phase. This is also the case for the High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), which will be applied in the endcaps of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS). The calorimeter uses silicon at the front and scintillators in the back, where the lower...
Transition Edge Sensors (TES) are superconducting microcalorimeters that can be used for
single-photon detection at extremely low backgrounds. When they are within their supercon-
ducting transition region ($\sim80~$mK for the TES in this work) small temperature fluctuations -
like the energy deposited by single photons - lead to large variations in resistance. These varia-
tions can be...
Conventional QED, an incredibly accurate physical theory, breaks down and becomes divergent at extremely high energy scales, and also in the presence of an extremely intense external electromagnetic field. LUXE (LASER Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment in design and planning here in Hamburg, intends to collide a high-intensity LASER pulse with highly boosted electrons and photons, up to 17.5...
Optimizing Beamlines with Image-to-Image surrogates (DMA)
Beamlines are complex parts of a synchrotron – they consist of many components with many changeable parameters. Thus they are hard to set up as well as hard to optimize. We tackle this issue by using global optimization methods using simulations. However, since these methods require millions of simulation evaluations for proper...
