SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Tim Huege\, KIT
DESCRIPTION:Radio detection of cosmic particles: the Pierre Auger Observatory\, the Square Kilometre Array\, and CORSIKA 8\nOver the last 20 years\, radio detection of cosmic particles has developed from small-scale prototype experiments to precision measurements employing thousands to tens of thousands of antennas. We have long left the phase of studying the radio detection technique itself and instead now provide valuable new insights into cosmic ray physics by combining radio measurements with particle detector data. Much of this success has been enabled by an understanding of the radio signals emitted by particle cascades in the atmosphere at the 5% level through microscopic Monte Carlo simulations\, which has been my personal focus for many years. I will give an overview of where the field stands and what future endeavors are expected to bring from my personal perspective\, highlighting in particular work carried out within the Pierre Auger Observatory\, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and the next-generation code for the simulation of particle cascades\, CORSIKA 8.

SUMMARY:ECAP Seminar: Julia Herzen\, TUM
DESCRIPTION:Quantitative x-ray imaging – towards material-specific numbers from images\nConventional X-ray imaging has relied on attenuation contrast for more than a century\, limiting the\nvisualization and characterization of soft tissues. Phase-contrast and dark-field X-ray imaging exploit X-\nray refraction and small-angle scattering to provide complementary information\, offering improved soft-\ntissue contrast and sensitivity to microstructural features beyond the detector resolution limit. Our\nresearch focuses on the development of quantitative phase-contrast and dark-field imaging methods for\nboth synchrotron and laboratory-based systems\, including novel Talbot-array and interferometric\napproaches\, spectral dark-field characterization\, and quantitative phase retrieval\, enabling the\nextraction of material-specific information at high spatial resolution. \nRecent advances span fundamental developments in quantitative synchrotron imaging and clinically\nrelevant applications in breast imaging. Phase-contrast mammography and breast CT have\ndemonstrated promising potential to improve visualization and characterization of breast lesions\,\nincluding ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)\, while nanoscale phase-contrast and dark-field techniques\noffer new opportunities for quantitative tissue assessment and biomarker development. This\npresentation will highlight recent methodological and translational advances\, illustrating the path from\ncutting-edge X-ray imaging physics toward next-generation imaging tools in biomedical applications \nReferences\nGustschin A. et al.
