Response of microchannel plates in ionization mode to single particles and electromagnetic showers
A. Yu. Barnyakov, M. Yu. Barnyakov, L. Brianza +22
Hundreds of concurrent collisions per bunch crossing are expected at future hadron colliders. Precision timing calorimetry has been advocated as a way to mitigate the pileup effect…
Performance of a Tungsten-Cerium Fluoride Sampling Calorimeter in High-Energy Electron Beam Tests
R. Becker, L. Bianchini, G. Dissertori +29
A prototype for a sampling calorimeter made out of cerium fluoride crystals interleaved with tungsten plates, and read out by wavelength-shifting fibres, has been exposed to beams…
Response of microchannel plates to single particles and to electromagnetic showers
L. Brianza, F. Cavallari, D. Del Re +22
We report on the response of microchannel plates (MCPs) to single relativistic particles and to electromagnetic showers. Particle detection by means of secondary emission of electr…
Radiation hardness qualification of PbWO4 scintillation crystals for the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
The CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter Group, P. Adzic, N. Almeida +267
Ensuring the radiation hardness of PbWO4 crystals was one of the main priorities during the construction of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS experiment at CERN. The produ…
A new concept for streamer quenching in resistive plate chambers
A. Calcaterra, R. de Sangro, G. Mannocchi +6
In this paper we propose a new concept for streamer quenching in Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). In our approach, the multiplication process is quenched by the appropriate design…
