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…
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…
A highly-compact and ultra-fast homogeneous electromagnetic calorimeter based on oriented lead tungstate crystals
L. Bandiera, V. G. Baryshevsky, N. Canale +25
Progress in high-energy physics has been closely tied to the development of highperformance electromagnetic calorimeters. Recent experiments have demonstrated the possibility to si…
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…
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…
Development of nanocomposite scintillators for use in high-energy physics
A. Antonelli, E. Auffray, S. Brovelli +33
Semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) are light emitters with high quantum yield that are relatively easy to manufacture. There is therefore much interest in their possible app…
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…
Strong Enhancement of Electromagnetic Shower Development in Oriented Scintillating Crystals and Implications for Particle Detectors
Mattia Soldani, Pietro Monti-Guarnieri, Alessia Selmi +31
A particle traversing a crystal aligned with one of its crystallographic axes experiences a strong electromagnetic field that is constant along the direction of motion over macrosc…
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…
A Portable Cosmic Ray Detector for School Education
Luca Bomben, Stefano Capelli, Chiara Fanzini +7
This article describes the design, assembly and characterization of a portable cosmic ray detector, developed by the INSULAB group and suitable for teaching activities aimed at hig…
