An array of bulk-acoustic-wave sensors as a high-frequency antenna for gravitational waves
G. Albani, M. Borghesi, L. Canonica +14
In their simplest form, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices consist of a piezoelectric crystal between two electrodes that transduce the material's vibrations into electrical signals.…

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…
