Satellite-borne -ray astrophysics from coherent interactions in oriented crystals
Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Gianfranco Paternò, Alexei Sytov +20
High-density and high-Z crystals are key elements of most space-borne -ray telescopes operating at gigaelectronvolt energies (such as Fermi-LAT). The lattice structure is usuall…
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…
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…
Particle identification capability of a homogeneous calorimeter composed of oriented crystals
Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Laura Bandiera, Nicola Canale +23
Recent studies have shown that the electromagnetic shower induced by a high-energy electron, positron or photon incident along the axis of an oriented crystal develops in a space m…
Observation of Fine Structure in Channeling of Particles in Bent Crystals
A. Mazzolari, H. Backe, L. Bandiera +14
We observed highly efficient manipulation of the 530 MeV positron beam at Mainz Microtron via bent crystals. The low beam divergence revealed a fine structure in the angular distri…
Radiation in oriented crystals: Innovative application to future positron sources
Mattia Soldani, Fahad Alharthi, Laura Bandiera +12
It has been known since decades that the alignment of a beam of high-energy electrons with particular crystal directions involves a significant increase of bremsstrahlung radiation…
