Techniques for mass peak reconstruction in Searches for Long-Lived Heavy Neutral Leptons Decaying to a Lepton and a \(Ï\) Meson
Marzieh Bahmani, Alessandro Guida, Maral Khandan +2
The precise reconstruction of the mass peak of long-lived heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) helps to improve the sensitivity for sterile neutrino searches in both fixed-target and colli…
The SND@LHC neutron shielding
LHC Collaboration
The design and construction of a neutron shielding for the SND@LHC detector, which utilizes a combination of plexiglass and borated polyethylene, is presented. FLUKA simulations we…
Studies of Hadronic Showers in SND@LHC
LHC Collaboration
The SND@LHC experiment was built for observing neutrinos arising from LHC pp collisions. The detector consists of two sections: a target instrumented with SciFi modules and a hadro…
Performance of Prototypes with Different Reflector Materials for the SHiP Liquid Scintillator Surrounding Background Tagger
A. Brignoli, P. Deucher, C. Eckardt +19
The baseline technology for the Surrounding Background Tagger of the recently approved SHiP experiment relies on liquid scintillator composed of linear alkylbenzene and 2,5-dipheny…
Installation and performance of the 3rd Veto plane at the SND@LHC detector
LHC Collaboration
During 2022/2023 the optimal inefficiency of the Veto system of the SND@LHC detector was measured to be . To reduce this inefficiency, a third Veto plane…
Simulation of charge transport at the surface of planar silicon sensors
Ingo Bloch, Ben Bruers, Heiko Lacker +3
Radiation-hard silicon sensors used in high-energy physics require a high electric field and are susceptible to surface breakdown. This study aims to improve the understanding of t…
