Crilin (Crystal Calorimeter with Longitudinal Information) is a semi-homogeneous, longitudinally segmented electromagnetic calorimeter based on high-, ultra-fast crystals with U…
A high-performance custom photodetection system to probe the light yield enhancement in oriented crystals
M. Soldani, L. Bandiera, L. Bomben +16
Scintillating homogeneous detectors represent the state of the art in electromagnetic calorimetry. Moreover, the currently neglected crystalline nature of the most common inorganic…
Muon detection in electron-positron annihilation for muon collider studies
N. Amapane, M. Antonelli, F. Anulli +43
The investigation of the energy frontier in physics requires novel concepts for future colliders. The idea of a muon collider is very appealing since it would allow to study partic…
The ENUBET narrow band neutrino beam
