Background discrimination with a Micromegas detector prototype and veto system for BabyIAXO

K. Altenmüller, J. F. Castel, S. Cebrián +22

In this paper we present measurements performed with a Micromegas X-ray detector setup. The detector is a prototype in the context of the BabyIAXO helioscope, which is under constr…

The International Axion Observatory (IAXO): case, status and plans. Input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics

A. Arcusa, S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmuller +120

The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next-generation axion helioscope designed to search for solar axions with unprecedented sensitivity. IAXO holds a unique position in…

The large inner Micromegas modules for the Atlas Muon Spectrometer Upgrade: construction, quality control and characterization

J. Allard, M. Anfreville, N. Andari +71

The steadily increasing luminosity of the LHC requires an upgrade with high-rate and high-resolution detector technology for the inner end cap of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: the N…

Design and Performance of a 96-channel Resistive PICOSEC Micromegas Detector for ENUBET

A. Kallitsopoulou, S. Aune, Y. Angelis +54

The PICOSEC-Micromegas (PICOSEC-MM) detector is a fast gaseous detector that achieves picosecond-level timing by coupling a Cherenkov radiator, typically an MgF2 crystal, to a Micr…

Spatial resolution studies with the BabyIAXO Micromegas prototype

A. Quintana, J. Castel, S. Cebrián +20

The spatial resolution of the Micromegas prototype developed for the BabyIAXO experiment was evaluated using a low-energy X-ray beam at the SOLEIL synchrotron facility. BabyIAXO, c…

An accurate solar axions ray-tracing response of BabyIAXO

S. Ahyoune, K. Altenmueller, I. Antolin +124

BabyIAXO is the intermediate stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) to be hosted at DESY. Its primary goal is the detection of solar axions following the axion heliosc…
