In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These extensions generally contain matter fields, much like SM quarks, and fields similar to gluons. We focus on exploration such sectors where dark particles are produced at LHC through portal undergo rapid hadronization within sector before decaying back, least in part potentially with sizeable lifetimes, particles, giving range...
Results on the effects of ionizing radiation signal produced by plastic scintillating rods manufactured Eljen Technology company are presented for various matrix materials, dopant concentrations, fluors (EJ-200 and EJ-260), anti-oxidant scintillator thickness, doses, dose rates. The light output before after irradiation is measured using an alpha source a photomultiplier tube, transmission spectrophotometer. Assuming exponential decrease in with dose, change quantified constant $D$. $D$...
The advent of the silicon photomultiplier has allowed development highly segmented calorimeters using plastic scintillator as active media, with photodetectors embedded in calorimeter, dimples plastic. To reduce photodetector's dark current and radiation damage, high granularity calorimeter designed for luminosity upgrade CMS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider will be operated a temperature about -30$^\circ$C. Due to flammability considerations, low oxygen environment is being...
Plastic scintillators are a versatile and inexpensive option for particle detection, which is why the largest physics experiments, CMS ATLAS, use them extensively in their calorimeters. One of challenging aspects, however, relatively low radiation hardness, might be inadequate very high luminosity future projects like FCC-hh. In this study, results on effects ionizing optical properties plastic scintillator samples presented. The made from two different matrix materials, polystyrene...
