The CaloCube calorimeter for high-energy cosmic-ray measurements in space: performance of a large-scale prototype
O. Adriani, A. Agnesi, S. Albergo +45
The direct observation of high-energy cosmic rays, up to the PeV energy region, will increasingly rely on highly performing calorimeters, and the physics performance will be primar…
Beam test characterisation of a Plastic Scintillator Prototype for the space-based cosmic ray experiment HERD
P. W. Cattaneo, M. Pullia, M. C. Prata +2
The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detector (HERD) facility is planned to go onboard China's Space Station, planned to be operational starting in around 2025 for about 10 years. The…
Timing resolution of a plastic scintillator counter read out by radiation damaged SiPMs connected in series
G. Boca, P. W. Cattaneo, M. De Gerone +8
This paper discusses the effects of radiation damage to SiPMs on the performances of plastic scintillator counters with series-connected SiPM readout, focusing on timing measuremen…
The CALOCUBE project for a space based cosmic ray experiment: design, construction, and first performance of a high granularity calorimeter prototype
Adriani O., Albergo S., Auditore L. +48
Current research in High Energy Cosmic Ray Physics touches on fundamental questions regarding the origin of cosmic rays, their composition, the acceleration mechanisms, and their p…
The laser-based time calibration system for the MEG II pixelated Timing Counter
G. Boca, P. W. Cattaneo, M. De Gerone +12
We have developed a new laser-based time calibration system for highly segmented scintillator counters like the MEG II pixelated Timing Counter (pTC), consisting of 512-centimeter…
A Laser-based Time Calibration System for the MEG II Timing Counter
M. Nakao, G. Boca, P. W. Cattaneo +8
We have developed a new laser-based time calibration system for the MEG II timing counter dedicated to timing measurement of positrons. The detector requires precise timing alignme…
