M. Demarteau, R. Lipton, H. Nicholson +211
These reports present the results of the 2013 Community Summer Study of the APS Division of Particles and Fields ("Snowmass 2013") on the future program of particle physics in the…
Novel Compact Accelerator-Based Neutron and Gamma Sources for Future Detector Calibration
G. Jennings, C. Sanzeni, D. R. Winn
Novel ultra-compact, electrically switchable, time-structured/pulsed, ~1-14 MeV-level neutron and photon generators have application embedded into large detector systems, especiall…
Ultra-Low Index and Rad-Hard Total Internal Reflection Claddings for High Numerical Aperture Scintillating, Waveshifting, Cerenkov, or Clear Optical Fibers, Capillaries, and Plates
C. Sanzeni, G. Jennings, D. R. Winn
Novel low index (n less than 1.3)/high light trapping cladding films consisting of nanoporous alumina (sapphire), as formed by controlled anodization of aluminum, are described. Th…
Quartz Capillary Cladding Anthracene and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAH)-Core Scintillating/WLS Fibers for High Rates and Radiation Damage Resistance
A. Albayrak-Yetkin, B. Bilki, J. Corso +7
Quartz capillary tube/fibers have been filled with anthracene by a melt and vacuum inbibition process to fabricate a scintillating core fiber. Other polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons…
Secondary Emission Calorimetry: Fast and Radiation-Hard
A. Albayrak-Yetkin, B. Bilki, J. Corso +10
A novel calorimeter sensor for electron, photon and hadron energy measurement based on Secondary Emission(SE) to measure ionization is described, using sheet-dynodes directly as th…
