Investigation of Radiation Emitted by Sub GeV Electrons in Oriented Scintillator Crystals
L. Bandiera, R. Camattari, N. Canale +12
The research investigates coherent interactions between sub-GeV electrons and oriented scintillator crystals, leading to enhanced electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Experiments at Mai…
Beam Steering and Radiation Generation of Electrons in Bent Crystals in the Sub-GeV Domain
R. Negrello, M. Romagnoni, A. Sytov +15
We present an investigation into beam steering and radiation emission by sub-GeV electrons traversing bent silicon crystals. Using 855, 600, and 300~MeV electron beams at the Mainz…
R&D on a high-performance electromagnetic calorimeter based on oriented crystalline scintillators
M. Soldani, N. Argiolas, L. Bandiera +36
Although inorganic scintillators are widely used in the design of electromagnetic calorimeters for high-energy physics and astrophysics, their crystalline nature and, hence, their…

Results from the study of the rare decays , and at the NA62 experiment at CERN are interpreted in terms…
Search for heavy neutral leptons in decays to positrons
NA62 Collaboration
A search for heavy neutral lepton () production in in-flight decays using data collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2024 is reported. Upper limits for…
Performance of short and long bent crystals for the TWOCRYST experiment at the Large Hadron Collider
L. Bandiera, R. Cai, S. Carsi +27
This study investigates the performance of bent silicon crystals intended to channel hadrons in a fixed-target experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The phenomenon of plan…
Experimental Study of Rare Kaon Decays at J-PARC with KOTO and KOTO II
J. K. Ahn, E. Augustine, L. Bandiera +62
The rare kaon decay is extremely sensitive to new physics, because the contribution to this decay in the Standard Model (SM) is highly suppressed and known very a…
High-Precision Alignment Techniques for Realizing an Ultracompact Electromagnetic Calorimeters Using Oriented high-Z Scintillator Crystals
Lorenzo Malagutti, Alessia Selmi, Laura Bandiera +29
Electromagnetic calorimeters used in high-energy physics and astrophysics rely heavily on high-Z inorganic scintillators, such as lead tungstate (PbWO4 or PWO). The crystalline str…
Coherent radiation in axially oriented industrial-grade tungsten crystals: A viable path for an innovative γ-rays and positron sources
N. Canale, M. Romagnoni, A. Sytov +18
It is known that the alignment of an high-energy e- beam with specific crystal directions leads to a significant increase of the coherent radiation emission. This enhancement can b…
A Novel Tool for Advanced Analysis of Geant4 Simulations of Charged Particles Interactions in Oriented Crystals
R. Negrello, L. Bandiera, N. Canale +8
We present a novel Python tool for the analysis of Geant4 simulations that enhances our understanding of coherent phenomena occurring during the interaction of charged particles wi…
FCC-ee positron source from conventional to crystal-based
Fahad Alharthi, Iryna Chaikovska, Robert Chehab +16
The high-luminosity requirement in future lepton colliders imposes a need for a high-intensity positron source. In the conventional scheme, positron beams are obtained by the conve…
Search for hadronic decays of feebly-interacting particles at NA62
NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at CERN has the capability to collect data in a beam-dump mode, where 400 GeV protons are dumped on an absorber. In this configuration, New Physics particles, i…
