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…
TOFHIR2: The readout ASIC of the CMS Barrel MIP Timing Detector
E. Albuquerque, M. Araújo, A. Benaglia +38
The CMS detector will be upgraded for the HL-LHC to include a MIP Timing Detector (MTD). The MTD will consist of barrel and endcap timing layers, BTL and ETL respectively, providin…
Observation of the rare decay from the combined analysis of CMS and LHCb data
The CMS, LHCb Collaborations, : +2807
A joint measurement is presented of the branching fractions and in proton-proton collisions at the LHC by the CMS and LHCb experiments. The data…
Radiation hardness qualification of PbWO4 scintillation crystals for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Group, P. Adzic, N. Almeida +267
Ensuring the radiation hardness of PbWO4 crystals was one of the main priorities during the construction of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment at CERN. The produ…
A new concept for streamer quenching in resistive plate chambers
A. Calcaterra, R. de Sangro, G. Mannocchi +6
In this paper we propose a new concept for streamer quenching in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). In our approach, the multiplication process is quenched by the appropriate design…
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…
A new technique for direct investigation of dark matter
R. Bertoni, F. Chignoli, D. Chiesa +8
The MOSCAB experiment (Materia OSCura A Bolle) uses a new technique for Dark Matter search. The Geyser technique is applied to the construction of a prototype detector with a mass…
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…
Measurement of neutrino oscillations by means of a high density detector on the atmospheric neutrino beam
M. Aglietta, M. Ambrosio, E. Aprile +28
A high-density calorimeter, consisting of magnetized iron planes interleaved by RPCs, as tracking and timing devices, is a good candidate for a next generation experiment on atmosp…
MOSCAB: A geyser-concept bubble chamber to be used in a dark matter search
The MOSCAB Collaboration, A. Antonicci, M. Ardid +26
The MOSCAB experiment (Materia OSCura A Bolle) uses the "geyser technique", a variant of the superheated liquid technique of extreme simplicity. Operating principles of the new dar…
Effective exploitation of a geyser bubble-chamber equipment as a background-free fast neutron detector
R. Bertoni, G. Bruno, N. Burgio +10
MOSCAB equipment, a geyser-concept bubble-chamber originally thought for the search of dark matter in the form of WIMPs, is employed for the detection of fast neutrons. Once the ba…
