Secondary electron yield from aluminium-coated foils for muon tagging and beam monitoring up to 60 MeV/c
Gianluca Janka, Michael W. Heiss, Maxime Lamotte +2
The feasibility of foil-based muon tagging is investigated in the momentum range below 60 MeV/c, with particular focus on its applicability to the low-momentum range spanning appro…
A comparison of simulation tools for Muon-Induced X-ray Emission (MIXE) in thin films: a study case with lithium batteries
Maxime Lamotte, Michael W. Heiss, Thomas Prokscha +1
We present a comparative study of three Monte Carlo simulation frameworks -SRIM, GEANT4, and PHITS- for modeling the transport, stopping, and atomic cascade of negative muons in mi…
Drift time calibration of the ultra-low material budget GEM-based TPC for MIXE
X. Zhao, M. W. Heiss, F. Garcia +10
Muon-Induced X-ray Emission (MIXE) is a non-destructive analytical technique that leverages negative muons to probe elemental and isotopic compositions by detecting characteristic…
The Ultra-Low material budget GEM based TPC for tracking with VMM3a readout
F. Garcia, K. J. Flöthner, A. Amato +21
The Gaseous Electron Multiplier-based Time Projection Chamber (GEM-TPC) in TWIN configuration for particle tracking has been consolidated after extensive investigations in differen…
Application of the VMM3a/SRS: A t0-less TWIN GEM-based TPC
K. J. Flöthner, F. Garcia, B. Oberhauser +17
Integrating the ATLAS/BNL VMM3a ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) into the RD51/SRS (Scalable Readout System) provides a self-triggered continuous readout system for v…
