Gravitational wave burst high energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor experiment (GECAM) is proposed by Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), which is characterized of all-sky 4π γ-rays monitor with two micro-satellite in space. A novel LaBr3 gamma-ray detector readout with large area Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) array has been developed for this special application,...

Since the 1970s, silica aerogel has been widely used as Cherenkov radiators in accelerator-based particle- and nuclear-physics experiments, as well as cosmic ray experiments. For this major application, the adjustable refractive index and optical transparency of the aerogel are highly important. We have been in the process of developing high-quality aerogel tiles for use in a super-B factory...

Scintillating fibers can be complementary to silicon micro-strips detectors for particle trackers in Space or offer an interesting alternative. Less fragile, more flexible, with no need of wire bonds, they can be used for the development of high-resolution charged-particle tracking detectors. Prototypes consisted in a ribbon of 40 cm long, 250 $\mu$m diameter fibers, with Hamamatsu MPPC arrays...

Our comprehension of the dawn of universe grew incredibly during last years, pointing to the existence of the cosmic inflation. The primordial B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) represents a unique probe to confirm this hypothesis. The detection of such small perturbations of the CMB is a challenge that will be faced in the near future by a new dedicated satellite...
