Performance of the Scintillation Wall in the BM@N experiment
arXiv:2411.14187
Abstract
The performance of the scintillation wall (ScWall) has been studied in the first physics run at the Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron (BM@N) in Xe+CsI reaction at a xenon beam energy of 3.8 and 3.0 AGeV. The design and functionality of the ScWall emphasizing its ability to detect charged spectator fragments produced in nucleus-nucleus interactions are shown. The simulation results regarding ScWall's capability to determine collision geometry and the comparison between measured and simulated charged spectators fragments spectra are discussed.
