Calibration of an Irradiated Prototype for the EIC Zero-Degree Calorimeter
Weibin Zhang, Xilin Liang, Sean Preins +1
We study the response of a prototype Zero-Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) detector to irradiation equivalent to 10 1-MeV , which matches the expected e…
Beam Test of a SiPM-on-Tile ZDC Prototype with 5.3 GeV Positrons at Jefferson Laboratory
Sean Preins, Weibin Zhang, Ryan Tsiao +4
We report on a beam test of a Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM)-on-tile Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) prototype developed for the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The detector imp…
A borehole muon detector with SiPM-on-tile technology
Miguel Arratia, Jiajun Huang, Sean Preins +3
We developed a compact and rugged muon detector designed for deployment in boreholes. The detector uses a SiPM-on-tile approach in which silicon photomultipliers are directly coupl…
Measurement of SiPM Dark Currents and Annealing Recovery for Fluences Expected in ePIC Calorimeters at the Electron-Ion Collider
Jiajun Huang, Sean Preins, Ryan Tsiao +3
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) will be used to read out all calorimeters in the ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). A thorough characterization of the radiation d…
First-Ever Deployment of a SiPM-on-Tile Calorimeter in a Collider: A Parasitic Test with 200 GeV Collisions at RHIC
Weibin Zhang, Sean Preins, Jiajun Huang +7
We describe the testing of a prototype SiPM-on-tile iron-scintillator calorimeter at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) during its 200 GeV run in 2024. The prototype,…
