A new general purpose fixed target facility is proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator which aimed exploring domain of hidden particles and make measurements with tau neutrinos. Hidden are predicted by a large number models beyond Standard Model. The high intensity 400~GeV beam allows probing wide variety containing light long-lived exotic masses below ${\cal O}$(10)~GeV/c$^2$, including very weakly interacting low-energy SUSY states. experimental programme capable being extended in future,...
This document summarizes the work of Accelerator Working Group (AWG) International Scoping Study (ISS) a Future Neutrino Factory and Superbeam Facility. The main goal activity was to reach consensus on baseline design for complex, including proton driver parameters, choice target, front-end design, acceleration system decay ring geometry. Another explore commonality, if any, between those or Beta Beam facility. In general, requirements either latter facilities are less stringent than...
Abstract We discuss an experiment to investigate neutrino physics at the LHC, with emphasis on tau flavour. As described in our previous paper Beni et al (2019 J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. 46 115008), detector can be installed decommissioned TI18 tunnel, ≈480 m downstream ATLAS cavern, after first bending dipoles of LHC arc. The intercepts intense flux, generated by beams colliding IP1, large pseudorapidity η , where energies exceed a TeV. This focuses exploring pseudorapity versus energy phase...
The Target Normal Sheath Acceleration regime for proton acceleration by laser pulses is experimentally consolidated and fairly well understood. However, uncertainties remain in the analysis of particle-in-cell simulation results. energy spectrum exponential with a cut-off, but maximum depends on time, following different laws two three dimensional (2D, 3D) PIC simulations so that determination an asymptotic value has some arbitrariness. We propose empirical rise time cut-off 2D 3D...
Systems featuring hard-core--soft-shell repulsive pair potentials can form ordered phases, where particles organize themselves in aggregates with nontrivial geometries. The dimer crystal formed by one such potential, namely, the hard-core plus generalized exponential model of order 4, has been recently investigated, revealing a low-temperature structural phase transition, onset nematic ordering dimers. In present work, we aim to characterize this transition via mean-field theory, which...
We propose a new beam-dump experiment, SHADOWS, to search for large variety of feebly-interacting particles possibly produced in the interactions 400 GeV proton beam with high-Z material dump. SHADOWS will use primary extracted from CERN SPS currently serving NA62 experiment North area and take data off-axis when P42 line is operated mode. can accumulate up ~2 x10^19 protons on target per year expand exploration FIPs well beyond state-of-the-art mass range MeV-GeV parameter space that...
We studied the light collection in plastic scintillator strips, optimized for detection of Minimum Ionizing Particles (MIPs). The is collected by Wave Length Shifter (WLS) fibers and detected Silicon Photo Multipliers (SiPMs). study based on prototypes developed muon detector SuperB experiment. In parallel to measurement made various type geometries, a complete simulation suite, FLUKA, was developed. parameters were tuned comparison with real data. this way, we able effects geometries...
The light yield, the time resolution and efficiency of different types scintillating tiles with direct Silicon Photomultiplier readout instrumented a customised front-end electronics have been measured at Beam Test Facility Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati several test stands. results obtained configurations are presented. A order 300 ps, yield more than 230 photo-electrons, an better 99.8 $\%$ $\sim 225$ cm$^2$ large area tiles. This technology is suitable for wide range applications in...
The barrel region of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at Large Hadron Collider is instrumented with Drift Tube (DT) detectors. This paper describes in full details calibration DT hit reconstruction algorithm. After inter-channel synchronization has been verified through appropriate hardware procedure, time pedestals are extracted directly from distribution recorded times. Further corrections for time-of-flight and signal propagation applied as soon three-dimensional position within...
XSEN (Cross Section of Energetic Neutrinos) is a small experiment designed to study, for the first time, neutrino-nucleon interactions (including tau flavour) in 0.5-1 TeV neutrino energy range. The detector will be installed decommissioned TI18 tunnel and uses nuclear emulsions. Its simplicity allows construction installation before LHC Run 3, 2021-2023; with 150/fb Run3, can record up two thousand interactions, hundred events. intercepts intense flux, generated by beams colliding IP1, at...
