Liquid Xenon Electromagnetic Calorimeters of MEG and PIONEER
The recent detection of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) opens the possibility to use neutrinos to explore physics beyond standard model with small size detectors. However, the CEνNS process generates signals at the few keV level, requiring of very sensitive detecting technologies for its detection. The European Spallation Source (ESS) has been identified as an optimal...
L. Gerritzen, on behalf of the MEG II collaboration
The MEG II experiment [1] searches for the charged lepton flavor-violating decay μ+→e+γ, building on the MEG experiment with enhanced detector performance and an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity over the previous result [2].The 900-litre liquid xenon (LXe) calorimeter of MEG, used to detect 53 MeV photons, has been...
