Design and expected performance of the MICE demonstration of ionization cooling
MICE Collaboration, M. Bogomilov, R. Tsenov +129
Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well-characterised neutrino beams necessary to elucidate the physics of flavour at a neutrino factory and to provide…
Electron-Muon Ranger: performance in the MICE Muon Beam
D. Adams, A. Alekou, M. Apollonio +151
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will perform a detailed study of ionization cooling to evaluate the feasibility of the technique. To carry out this program, MICE requ…
Pion contamination in the MICE muon beam
D. Adams, A. Alekou, M. Apollonio +142
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will perform a systematic investigation of ionization cooling with muon beams of momentum between 140 and 240\,MeV/c at…
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Conceptual Design Report
The LZ Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, C. W. Akerlof +192
The design and performance of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector is described as of March 2015 in this Conceptual Design Report. LZ is a second-generation dark-matter detector with the p…
Characterisation of the muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment
The MICE Collaboration, D. Adams, D. Adey +141
A novel single-particle technique to measure emittance has been developed and used to characterise seventeen different muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE).…
Measurement and simulation of the muon-induced neutron yield in lead
L. Reichhart, A. Lindote, D. Yu. Akimov +36
A measurement is presented of the neutron production rate in lead by high energy cosmic-ray muons at a depth of 2850 m water equivalent (w.e.) and a mean muon energy of 260 GeV. Th…
Quenching Factor for Low Energy Nuclear Recoils in a Plastic Scintillator
