Toward High-Resolution Detection of Target Fragmentation: TEA-Sensitized NIT for Proton Therapy Applications
V. Boccia, T. Asada, A. Alexandrov +96
Nano Imaging Trackers (NIT) are fine-grained nuclear emulsions capable of tracking charged particles with sub-micrometric spatial resolution. The DAMON (Direct Measurement of Targe…
Environmental sub-MeV neutron measurement at the Gran Sasso surface laboratory with a super-fine-grained nuclear emulsion detector
T. Shiraishi, S. Akamatsu, T. Naka +8
The measurement of environmental neutrons is particularly important in the search for new physics, such as dark matter particles, because neutrons constitute an often-irreducible b…
Track reconstruction and matching between emulsion and silicon pixel detectors for the SHiP-charm experiment
SHiP Collaboration
In July 2018 an optimization run for the proposed charm cross section measurement for SHiP was performed at the CERN SPS. A heavy, moving target instrumented with nuclear emulsion…
Upgrade of the CMS Resistive Plate Chambers for the High Luminosity LHC
A. Samalan, M. Tytgat, G. A. Alves +108
During the upcoming High Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), the integrated luminosity of the accelerator will increase to 3000 fb. The expected experime…
Towards a two-dimensional readout of the improved CMS Resistive Plate Chamber with a new front-end electronics
Sabino Meola
As part of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment Phase-II upgrade program, new Resistive Plate Chambers will be installed in the forward region. High background conditions are expec…
The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment
SHiP collaboration, A. Akmete, A. Alexandrov +229
The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An ess…
Determination of the muon charge sign with the dipolar spectrometers of the OPERA experiment
OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov +141
The OPERA long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment has observed the direct appearance of in the CNGS beam. Two large muon magnetic spectrometers are used to identi…
Momentum measurement by the Multiple Coulomb Scattering method in the OPERA lead emulsion target
The OPERA Collaboration
A new method of momentum measurement of charged particles through Multiple Coulomb Scattering (MCS) in the OPERA lead emulsion target is presented. It is based on precise measureme…
Emulsion sheet doublets as interface trackers for the OPERA experiment
A. Ariga
New methods for efficient and unambiguous interconnection between electronic counters and target units based on nuclear photographic emulsion films have been developed. The applica…
