Atmospheric effects on cosmic-ray muon rate at high latitude (78.9°N)
M. Abbrescia, C. Avanzini, L. Baldini +71
Since 2019, three scintillator detectors of the EEE collaboration have been continuously measuring cosmic muon rates at 78.9°N at the Ny-à lesund Research Station (Svalbard). The…
Performance and long-term aging studies on Eco-Friendly Resistive Plate Chamber detectors
D. Ahmadi, M. Tytgat
Resistive Plate Chambers detectors are extensively used in several domains of Physics. In High Energy Physics, they are typically operated in avalanche mode with a high-performance…
Signal shape studies and rate dependence of HFO-based gas mixtures in RPC detectors
L. Quaglia, M. Abbrescia, G. Aielli +56
The RPCs employed at the LHC experiments are currently operated in avalanche mode, with a mixture containing a large fraction of CHF (90\% or more) with…
Preliminary results on the long term operation of RPCs with eco-friendly gas mixtures under irradiation at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility
L. Quaglia, D. Ramos, M. Abbrescia +55
Since 2019 a collaboration between researchers from various institutes and experiments (i.e. ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb/SHiP and the CERN EP-DT group), has been operating several RPCs…
Recent results and upgrade of the ALICE muon spectrometer
Luca Quaglia, ALICE collaboration
The ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a multi-purpose particle detector, mainly focused on the study of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions.…
