The performance of electromagnetic calorimeter modules made proton-irradiated PbWO4 crystals has been studied in beam tests. modules, similar to those used the Endcaps CMS (ECAL), were formed from 5×5 matrices crystals, which had previously exposed 24 GeV protons up integrated fluences between 2.1× 1013 and 1.3× 1014 cm−2. These correspond predicted charged-hadron ECAL at pseudorapidity η = 2.6 after about 500 fb−1 3000 respectively, corresponding end LHC High Luminosity operation periods....
At the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) about 200 concurrent interactions are expected, with a spread between interaction vertices of few centimeters in beam direction and ps collision time. A time flight resolution order 30 would be able to reduce neutral particles pile-up contamination at calorimeter level one magnitude, restoring conditions similar what is routinely sustained current run . Micro-channel plates have been used PMT configuration as fast charged detector (resolution better than...
The High-Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (HL-LHC) poses stringent requirements on calorimeter performance in terms resolution, pileup resilience and radiation hardness. A tungsten-CeF <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> sampling is a possible option for upgrade current detectors. prototype, read out with different types wavelength-shifting fibers, has been built exposed to high energy electrons,...
Future high rate hadron colliders are expected to have hundreds of concurrent proton-proton interactions in the same bunch crossing, deteriorating energy resolution and identification capabilities calorimeters. The possibility distinguish neutral particles coming from different interaction vertices is being pursued as a tool reduce pile-up contamination calorimeters, restore optimal performance. A time flight order 20 ps will be able at calorimeter level by about one magnitude, restoring...
IMCP is an R&D project aimed at the exploitation of secondary emission electrons from surface microchannel plates (MCP) for fast timing showers in high rate environments. The usage MCPs "ionisation" mode has long been proposed and used extensively ion time-of-flight mass spectrometers. What not investigated depth their use to detect ionizing component showers. time resolution exceeds anything that previously calorimeters and, if exploited effectively, could aid event reconstruction...
The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment, based on lead tungstate scintillating crystals, is crucial for achieving high-resolution measurements electrons and photons.

This very close to...
