The ScIDEP Muon Radiography Project at the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre
Manar Gamal, Shereen Aly, Dora Geeraerts +10
The ScIDEP Collaboration is constructing muon telescopes based on scintillator technology to investigate the internal structure of the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre at Giza near Cairo…
Novel Muon Tomography Detector for the Pyramids
Richard T. Kouzes, Alain Bonneville, Azaree Lintereur +9
Cosmic-ray muons which impinge upon the Earth's surface can be used to image the density of geological and man-made materials located above a muon detector. The detectors used for…
Simulation Studies of a Novel Muography Detector for the Great Pyramids
S. Aly, Y. Assran, A. Bonneville +10
Muography is an imaging technique that can be used to examine the interior structure of large-size objects. The technique is based on measurements of the absorption of cosmic-ray m…
High rate, fast timing Glass RPC for the high CMS muon detectors
Maxime Gouzevitch, François Lagarde, Imad Laktineh +16
The HL-LHC phase is designed to increase by an order of magnitude the amount of data to be collected by the LHC experiments. To achieve this goal in a reasonable time scale the ins…
Performance of Resistive Plate Chambers installed during the first long shutdown of the CMS experiment
M. Shopova, A. Aleksandrov, R. Hadjiiska +93
The CMS experiment, located at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, has a redundant muon system composed by three different detector technologies: Cathode Strip Chambers (in the forward…
Radiation Tests of Real-Sized Prototype RPCs for the Future CMS RPC Upscope
K. S. Lee, S. Choi, B. S. Hong +93
We report on a systematic study of double-gap and four-gap phenolic resistive plate chambers (RPCs) for future high-η RPC triggers in the CMS. In the present study, we constructed…
