Experimental results of crystal-assisted slow extraction at the SPS
M. A. Fraser, F. Addesa, G. Cavoto +13
The possibility of extracting highly energetic particles from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) by means of silicon bent crystals has been explored since the 1990's. The channelli…
Test beam characterization of sensor prototypes for the CMS Barrel MIP Timing Detector
R. Abbott, A. Abreu, F. Addesa +196
The MIP Timing Detector will provide additional timing capabilities for detection of minimum ionizing particles (MIPs) at CMS during the High Luminosity LHC era, improving event re…
Double-crystal setup measurements at the CERN SPS
W. Scandale, F. Cerutti, L. S. Esposito +33
In this paper, we discuss an experimental layout for the two-crystals scenario at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator. The research focuses on a fixed target setup at th…
Multiple scattering of channeled and non-channeled positively charged particles in bent monocrystalline silicon
W. Scandale, G. Arduini, F. Cerutti +39
We present the results of an experimental study of multiple scattering of positively charged high energy particles in bent samples of monocrystalline silicon. This work confirms th…
Optimization of LYSO crystals and SiPM parameters for the CMS MIP timing detector
F. Addesa, T. Anderson, P. Barria +68
For the High-Luminosity (HL-LHC) phase, the upgrade of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN will include a novel MIP Timing Detector (MTD). The central part of MTD, t…
Reduction of multiple scattering of high-energy positively charged particles during channeling in single crystals
W. Scandale, L. S. Esposito, M. Garattini +24
We present the experimental observation of the reduction of multiple scattering of high-energy positively charged particles during channeling in single crystals. According to our m…
Double-crystal measurements at the CERN SPS
W. Scandale, G. Arduini, F. Cerutti +35
The UA9 setup, installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, was exploited for a proof of principle of the double-crystal scenario, proposed to measure the electric and…
The CMS Barrel Timing Layer: test beam confirmation of module timing performance
F. Addesa, P. Akrap, A. Albert +127
First of its kind, the barrel section of the MIP Timing Detector is a large area timing detector based on LYSO:Ce crystals and SiPMs which are required to operate in an unprecedent…
