Commissioning of CMS Forward Hadron Calorimeters with Upgraded Multi-anode PMTs and μTCA Readout
Emrah Tiras, Burak Bilki, Yasar Onel
The high flux of charged particles interacting with the CMS Forward Hadron Calorimeter PMT windows introduced a significant background for the trigger and offline data analysis. Du…
Development of Radiation Hard Scintillators
Emrah Tiras, James Wetzel, Burak Bilki +2
Modern high-energy physics experiments are in ever increasing need for radiation hard scintillators and detectors. In this regard, we have studied various radiation-hard scintillat…
Dose rate effects in the radiation damage of the plastic scintillators of the CMS Hadron Endcap Calorimeter
HCAL collaboration
We present measurements of the reduction of light output by plastic scintillators irradiated in the CMS detector during the 8 TeV run of the Large Hadron Collider and show that the…
Radiation Damage and Recovery Properties of Common Plastics PEN (Polyethylene Naphthalate) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Using a 137Cs Gamma Ray Source Up To 1 MRad and 10 MRad
J. Wetzel, E. Tiras, B. Bilki +2
Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) are cheap and common polyester plastics used throughout the world in the manufacturing of bottled drinks, contai…
Characterization of photomultiplier tubes in a novel operation mode for Secondary Emission Ionization Calorimetry
E. Tiras, K. Dilsiz, H. Ogul +6
Hamamatsu single anode R7761 and multi-anode R5900-00-M16 Photomultiplier Tubes have been characterized for use in a Secondary Emission (SE) Ionization Calorimetry study. SE Ioniza…
