We observed a substantial increase of the scintillation light output lead tungstate (PbWO$_4$) at small incidence angle with respect to two main lattice axes. This reflects acceleration electromagnetic shower development that occurs in crystalline Strong Field. measured generated by $120$-$\mathrm{GeV}$ electrons and $10$-$100$-$\mathrm{GeV}$ $\gamma$ rays on thick samples. result deepens knowledge mechanisms crystal scintillators could pave way innovative accelerator- space-borne calorimeters.
Abstract The ENUBET project is aimed at designing and experimentally demonstrating the concept of monitored neutrino beams. These novel beams are enhanced by an instrumented decay tunnel, whose detectors reconstruct large-angle charged leptons produced in tunnel give a direct estimate flux source. facilities thus ideal tool for high-precision cross-section measurements GeV scale because they offer superior control beam systematics with respect to existing facilities. In this paper, we...
Calorimeters based on oriented crystals provide unparalleled compactness and resolution in measuring the energy of electromagnetic particles. Recent experiments performed at CERN DESY beamlines by AXIAL/ELIOT demonstrated a significant reduction radiation length inside tungsten PbWO$_4$, latter being scintillator used for CMS ECAL, observed when incident particle trajectory is aligned with lattice axis within $\sim 1^{\circ}$. This remarkable effect, over wide range from few GeV to 1 TeV or...
The main source of systematic uncertainty on neutrino cross section measurements at the GeV scale is represented by poor knowledge initial flux. goal cutting down this to 1% can be achieved through monitoring charged leptons produced in association with neutrinos, properly instrumenting decay region a conventional narrow-band beam. Large angle muons and positrons from kaons are measured sampling calorimeter tunnel walls (tagger), while muon stations after hadron dump used monitor component...
Nowadays, it is well known that the electromagnetic interaction between high-energy particles and matter experiences substantial modifications when latter consists of a crystalline medium its lattice axes are almost parallel to input beam direction. In particular, strong boost cross section bremsstrahlung by electrons positrons in high-density oriented crystals has been observed $10$-to-$100~\mathrm{GeV}$ regime. This effect proves particularly appealing comes inorganic scintillators, given...
Scintillating homogeneous detectors represent the state of art in electromagnetic calorimetry. Moreover, currently neglected crystalline nature most common inorganic scintillators can be exploited to achieve an outstanding performance boost terms compactness and energy resolution. In fact, it was recently demonstrated by AXIAL/ELIOT experiments that a strong reduction radiation length inside PWO, subsequent enhancement scintillation light emitted per unit thickness, are attained when...
Abstract The main source of systematic uncertainty on neutrino cross section measurements at the GeV scale originates from poor knowledge initial flux. reduction this to 1% can be achieved through monitoring charged leptons produced in association with neutrinos. goal ENUBET ERC project is prove feasibility such a monitored beam. In contribution, final results project, together complete assessment its concept, are presented. An overview detector technology for next generation high precision...
The ENUBET project aims to reduce the flux-related systematics 1% on a narrow band neutrino beam through monitoring associated charged leptons in an instrumented decay tunnel. A key element of is design meson transfer line with conventional magnets that maximize yield K+ and π+ while minimizing total length outside region. In order limit particle rates tunnel instrumentation, high level collimation needed, thus allowing non-decayed mesons reach end At same time, fine-tuning shielding...
For more than half a century, expensive and bulky modules (e.g. the standard NIM, Nuclear Instrumentation Modules) electronic boards have been used in nuclear physics laboratory courses, order to filter, shape digitize analog signals coming from particle detectors. Recently it has become technically possible miniaturize these circuits within ASICs, but their high cost specificity make them unsuitable didactic general-purpose context. In this contribution we present an innovative system for...
It is well known that the lattice structure of a scintillating crystal can influence development electromagnetic processes inside it. For electron and photon beams aligned with symmetry axis crystal, if Strong Field condition satisfied, reduction radiation length (X$_0$) expected. However, these effects have been experimentally observed only in last few years, samples limited number, composition length. The lack experimental data for phenomena makes it harder to properly account them design...
