Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

The needs and the proposed solutions for extremely fast timing detectors were one of the main highlights of the FP420 R&D report recently published in JINST 4 (2009) T10001. The FP420 project studies feasibility of installing proton detectors at 420m from the ATLAS and/or CMS interaction point(s) at the LHC, allowing for precise measurements in high luminosity environment of the spatial...

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

The VHMPID RICH upgrade project for ALICE at LHC A. Di Mauro for the ALICE Collaboration RHIC results have shown the importance of high momentum particles as hard probes and the need for particle identification in a very large momentum range, in particular for protons. The ALICE detector has a unique capability to identify a wide variety of particles; however its momentum coverage for...

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

The BaBar DIRC is an innovative internally reflecting Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counter. It uses quartz bar radiator of Cherenkov light and the pinhole focusing onto an imaging device made up of individual conventional PMTs. Its success in the BaBar physics analysis motivated us to propose this concept again for the SuperB application. We plan to replace the BaBar stand-off box with a...

80. R&D towards the MEMPHYS detector

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

MEMPHYS is a 0,5 Mton scale Water Cerenkov detector proposed for deep underground installation. Its performance with neutrino beams includes the possibility of measuring the mixing angle θ13, the CP violating phase δ and mass hierarchy. In addition, it would have an unprecedented reach for nucleon decay searches and for supernova neutrino detection. One R&D item currently being carried...

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

Latest steps in the development of the Focusing Aerogel RICH (FARICH) in Novosibirsk are presented. Our group has developed the technique of multilayer aerogel production. Several multilayer aerogel samples were produced. Optical parameters were measured. A project of the Forward RICH for the SuperB experiment (Italy) is presented. It features a dual aerogel-water radiator and Photonis MCP...

16. Development of a RICH detector for electron identification in CBM

Dr Claudia Hoehne (GSI - for the CBM collaboration)

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt will be a dedicated heavy-ion experiment exploring the intermediate range of the QCD phase diagram with A+A collisions from 10-45 AGeV beam energy. A key observable of the physics program is a precise measurement of low-mass vector mesons and charmonium in their leptonic decay...

49. TOP counter prototype R&D

Dr Kenji Inami (Nagoya university)

Research & Development for future experiments

Oral presentation

We have been developing a Cherenkov ring-imaging counter, named TOP counter, as a particle identification device of Belle-II detector for super B-factory at KEK. In this presentation, we show the R&D status of TOP counter prototype development. We have performed the beam test using 2m long quartz radiator and MCP-PMTs, and evaluated the number of detected photons, time resolution and...
