The muon beam monitor for the FAMU experiment: design, simulation, test and operation
R. Rossini, G. Baldazzi, S. Banfi +35
FAMU is an INFN-led muonic atom physics experiment based at the RIKEN-RAL muon facility at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (United Kingdom). The aim of FAMU is to measure the hype…
Calibration of the ICARUS cryogenic photo-detection system at FNAL
M. Bonesini, R. Benocci, R. Bertoni +7
The calibration of the ICARUS photo-detection system is based on a low power laser diode at 405 nm. Laser pulses arrive to one optical switch and then are sent to 36 UHV flanges, b…
