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 usual…
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…
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…
Searches for hidden sectors using decays
NA62 Collaboration
Results from the study of the rare decays , and at the NA62 experiment at CERN are interpreted…
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…
