Radiation Hardness Tests of SiPMs for the JLab Hall D Barrel Calorimeter
Yi Qiang, Carl Zorn, Fernando Barbosa +1
We report on the measurement of the neutron radiation hardness of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) manufactured by Hamamatsu Corporation in Japan and SensL in Ireland. Samples from…
Snowmass 2021 Instrumentation Frontier (IF5 - MPGDs) -- White Paper 2: Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors for Nuclear Physics
Fernando Barbosa, Daniel Bazin, Francesco Bossú +11
Many current and future nuclear physics (NP) experiments across the United States have and are implementing micro-pattern gas detectors (MPGDs) to be used for tracking and PID purp…
The GlueX DIRC Project
Justin Stevens, Fernando Barbosa, Jason Bessuille +12
The GlueX experiment was designed to search for and study the pattern of gluonic excitations in the meson spectrum produced through photoproduction reactions at a new tagged photon…
Construction and Performance of the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the GlueX Experiment
Tegan Beattie, Ahmed Foda, Colleen Henschel +36
The barrel calorimeter is part of the new spectrometer installed in Hall D at Jefferson Lab for the GlueX experiment. The calorimeter was installed in 2013, commissioned in 2014 an…
Development and characterization of MPGD-based transition radiation detectors
Lauren Kasper, Alexander Austregesilo, Fernando Barbosa +8
Transition Radiation Detectors (TRDs) are useful for electron identification and hadron suppression in high energy nuclear and particle physics experiments. Conventional wire-chamb…
The GlueX Start Counter Detector
Eric Pooser, Fernando Barbosa, Werner Boeglin +11
The design, simulation, fabrication, calibration, and performance of the GlueX Start Counter detector is described. The Start Counter was designed to operate at integrated rates of…
