The SND@LHC neutron shielding
LHC Collaboration
The design and construction of a neutron shielding for the SND@LHC detector, which utilizes a combination of plexiglass and borated polyethylene, is presented. FLUKA simulations we…
Studies of Hadronic Showers in SND@LHC
LHC Collaboration
The SND@LHC experiment was built for observing neutrinos arising from LHC pp collisions. The detector consists of two sections: a target instrumented with SciFi modules and a hadro…
Track reconstruction and matching between emulsion and silicon pixel detectors for the SHiP-charm experiment
SHiP Collaboration
In July 2018 an optimization run for the proposed charm cross section measurement for SHiP was performed at the CERN SPS. A heavy, moving target instrumented with nuclear emulsion…
The SHiP experiment at the proposed CERN SPS Beam Dump Facility
SHIP Collaboration
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration has proposed a general-purpose experimental facility operating in beam-dump mode at the CERN SPS accelerator to search for ligh…
A High Pressure Time Projection Chamber with Optical Readout
Alexander Deisting, Abigail Victoria Waldron, Edward Atkin +33
Measurements of proton-nucleus scattering and high resolution neutrino-nucleus interaction imaging are key to reduce neutrino oscillation systematic uncertainties in future experim…
Technical design of the phase I Mu3e experiment
K. Arndt, H. Augustin, P. Baesso +102
The Mu3e experiment aims to find or exclude the lepton flavour violating decay at branching fractions above . A first phase of the experiment using an…
Off-Axis Characterisation of the CERN T10 Beam for low Momentum Proton Measurements with a High Pressure Gas Time Projection Chamber
S. B. Jones, T. S. Nonnenmacher, E. Atkin +33
We present studies of proton fluxes in the T10 beamline at CERN. A prototype high pressure gas time projection chamber (TPC) was exposed to the beam of protons and other particles,…
SND@LHC
SHiP Collaboration, C. Ahdida, A. Akmete +341
We propose to build and operate a detector that, for the first time, will measure the process at the LHC and search for feebly interacting particles (FIPs) in an unexplor…
Measurement of the muon flux for the SHiP experiment
SHiP Collaboration
The SHiP experiment will search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 \GeV/ proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. About $10^{11…
Plastic scintillator detector with the readout based on an array of large-area SiPMs for the ND280/T2K upgrade and SHiP experiments
A. Korzenev, C. Betancourt, A. Blondel +12
Plastic scintillator detectors have been extensively used in particle physics experiments for decades. A large-scale detector is typically arranged as an array of staggered long ba…
Application of large area SiPMs for the readout of a plastic scintillator based timing detector
C. Betancourt, A. Blondel, R. Brundler +10
In this study an array of eight 6 mm x 6 mm area SiPMs was coupled to the end of a long plastic scintillator counter which was exposed to a 2.5 GeV/c muon beam at the CERN PS. Timi…
Signal coupling to embedded pitch adapters in silicon sensors
Marina Artuso, Christopher Betancourt, Iaroslava Bezshyiko +14
We have examined the effects of embedded pitch adapters on signal formation in n-substrate silicon microstrip sensors with data from beam tests and simulation. According to simulat…
The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment
SHiP collaboration, A. Akmete, A. Alexandrov +229
The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An ess…
Enabling Technologies for Silicon Microstrip Tracking Detectors at the HL-LHC
C. Barth, C. A. Betancourt, I. Bloch +38
While the tracking detectors of the ATLAS and CMS experiments have shown excellent performance in Run 1 of LHC data taking, and are expected to continue to do so during LHC operati…
Metastable Staus: Reconstructing Non-Prompt Tracks at the ILC with the SiD Detector
Christopher Betancourt, F. Alexander Bogert, Bruce A. Schumm
We have explored the reconstruction of kinks from the decay of metastable staus into a gravitino and a stau lepton in the radial region between the outer layer of the vertex detect…
