Scientists at the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis and Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk have been making silica aerogel blocks since 1986, supplying them to major experiments including KEDR and SND in Russia, LHCb at CERN, AMS-02 on the International Space Station, and CLAS12 at Jefferson Lab. This preprint (https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.24630), which has not been peer-reviewed, explains how the team closely examined and optimized the annealing step - a key heating process in manufacturing - to increase the yield of high-quality, transparent tiles suitable for Ring-Imaging Cherenkov detectors. They present optical and mechanical measurements from the largest aerogel samples produced with the new procedure. The abstract provides no specific sample sizes or detailed limitations, which are likely covered in the full paper.
