The Crilin calorimeter is a semi-homogeneous calorimetric system that uses Lead Fluoride (PbF 2 ) crystals with UV-extended Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). Proposed for the Muon Collider, it requires high granularity to distinguish signal particles and address substructures jet identification. Anticipating substantial occupancy due beam-induced backgrounds, simulations indicate photon flux an average energy of 1.7 MeV approximately 4.5 MHz/cm fluence rate. Prioritizing time-of-arrival...
Crilin (Crystal Calorimeter with Longitudinal Information) is a semi-homogeneous, longitudinally segmented electromagnetic calorimeter based on high- Z , ultra-fast crystals UV-extended SiPM readout. The design has been proposed as candidate solution for both future Muon Collider barrel ECAL and the Small Angle of HIKE experiment. As part development program, we have carried out beam tests small (10 × 10 40 mm 3 ) lead fluoride (PbF 2 tungstate (PbWO 4 PWO-UF) 120 GeV electrons at CERN SPS...
Abstract A directional neutron spectrometer named NCT-WES (Neutron Capture Therapy Wide Energy Spectrometer) was developed for quality assurance of the therapeutic beam in Neutron (NCT). operates as a “parallelized” Bonner spheres spectrometer, embedding six semiconductor-based thermal detectors collimated cylindrical moderator. With objective validating simulation model used to derive its response matrix, irradiations reference monoenergetic fields were performed at National Physical...
Accurate measurements of physical processes in high energy frontier experiments demand exceptional spatial, temporal, and precision to discern the physics behind high-energy particle jets. Calorimeters, like other detection systems, must be able meet these increasingly challenging performance requirements. In prospective TeV-scale Muon Collider, primary hurdle designing detectors devising event reconstruction algorithms is challenge posed by Beam-Induced Background (BIB). Nevertheless, it...
This document is comprised of a collection updated preliminary parameters for the key parts muon collider. The follow on from October 2023 Tentative Parameters Report. Particular attention has been given to regions facility that are believed hold greater technical uncertainty in their design and have strong impact cost power consumption facility. data collected collaborative spreadsheet transferred overleaf.
Gravity can be studied in detail near Earth orbits NEO's using laser-ranged test masses tracked with few-mm accuracy by ILRS. The two LAGEOS satellites have been used to measure frame dragging (a truly rotational effect predicted GR) a 10% error. A new mission and an optimized, second generation satellite, LARES (I. Ciufolini PI), is preparation reach of 1% or less on dragging, some PPN parameters, the 1/r 2 law very weak field and, possibly, select models unified theories (using perigee)....
The measurement of physics processes at new energy frontier experiments requires excellent spatial, time, and resolutions to resolve the structure collimated high-energy jets. Calorimeters, as other detectors, must face this increasing performance demand. In a future TeV-scale Muon Collider, beam-induced background (BIB) represents main challenge in design detectors event reconstruction algorithms can pose serious limitations performance. However, it is possible reduce BIB impact on Collider...

Abstract FLASH radiotherapy (FRT) is a novel technique based on dose rates that are several orders of magnitude greater than those used in conventional (40 Gy/s vs. 0.5–5 Gy/min). FRT still its preclinical and early clinical stage development. However these studies indicate more effective sparing normal tissues from radiation-related side effects, as compared to radiotherapy. This the so-called "FLASH effect" was observed with multi-MeV electron beams. Before made available humans, basic...

The Crilin calorimeter introduces a new concept in the development of electromagnetic calorime- ters for future colliders, particularly Muon Collider. It is based on unique semi-homogeneous design, using stackable, interchangeable matrices lead fluoride (PbF2) crystals employed as high- density Cherenchov radiators, read out by surface-mount UV-extended Silicon Photo-multipliers.
