Studies of LAPPD and HRPPD photodetectors for Cherenkov imaging applications

HRPPDs are the baseline single-photon sensors for a classic proximity-focusing RICH (pfRICH) counter, one of the Cherenkov radiation-based PID subsystems of the ePIC detector at the EIC. We report SPE time resolution of 87 ps rms for an LAPPD unit detecting Cherenkov photons in a quartz lens at a CERN PS test beam (2022). We also present the degradation and partial recovery of gain and relative efficiency of an LAPPD unit as a function of the B-field strength (up to 1.5 T) and angular orientation, measured with vertical dipole magnets at CERN (2023–2024). Finally, we report preliminary results of an accelerated ageing study performed on an HRPPD unit in Trieste laboratory (2025).

SPE-CZE-MS Quantifies Zeptomole Amounts of Phosphorylated Peptides

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is gaining attention in the field of single-cell proteomics for its ultralow-flow and high-resolution separation abilities. Even more sample-limited yet rich in biological information are phosphoproteomics experiments, as the phosphoproteome composes only a fraction of the whole cellular proteome. Rapid analysis, high sensitivity, and maximization of sample utilization are paramount for single-cell analysis. Some challenges of coupling CZE analysis with mass spectrometry analysis (MS) of complex mixtures include 1. sensitivity due to volume loading limitations of CZE and 2. incompatibility of MS duty cycles with electropherographic time scales. Here, we address these two challenges as applied to singlecell- equivalent phosphoproteomics experiments by interfacing a microchip-based CZE device integrated with a solid-phaseextraction (SPE) bed with the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer. Using 225 phosphorylated peptide standards and phosphorylated peptide-enriched mouse brain tissue, we investigate microchip-based SPE-CZE functionality, quantitative performance, and complementarity to nano-LC-MS (nLC-MS) analysis. We highlight unique SPE-CZE separation mechanisms that can empower fitfor- purpose applications in single-cell-equivalent phosphoproteomics.
