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,...

A momentum dependent binary requirement used to reduce probability be misidentified as level 1%, keeping efficiency range 95-98%. As further refinement, a likelihood built for non-muon hypotheses. Adding this that provides total at 93%, hadron misidentification probabilities are below 0.6%.
We report new measurements of the ratio electric form factor to magnetic neutron, G(n)(E)/G(n)(M), obtained via recoil polarimetry from quasielastic 2H(e-->,e(')n-->)1H reaction at Q2 values 0.45, 1.13, and 1.45 (GeV/c)(2) with relative statistical uncertainties 7.6% 8.4% two higher points, which points have never been achieved in polarization measurements.
We study the behavior of string tension in SU(3) lattice pure-gauge theory close to deconfining critical point. find very large correlation lengths, increasing with size. This result is strongly suggestive a second-order phase transition, and excludes presence strong first-order transition.
In the last years, high-resolution time tagging has emerged as tool to tackle problem of high-track density in detectors next generation experiments at particle colliders. Time resolutions below 50ps and event average repetition rates tens MHz on sensor pixels having a pitch 50$\mu$m are typical minimum requirements. This poses an important scientific technological challenge development sensors processing electronics. The TIMESPOT initiative (which stands for TIME SPace real-time Operating...
Abstract In this paper the results of a beam test characterization campaign 3D trench silicon pixel sensors are presented.

We present the first characterization results of Timespot1, an ASIC designed in CMOS 28 nm technology, featuring a $32 \times 32$ pixel matrix with pitch $55 ~ \mu m$. Timespot1 is small-size prototype, conceived to readout fine-pitch pixels single-hit time resolution below $50 ps_\text{rms}$ and input rates several hundreds kilohertz per pixel. Such experimental conditions will be typical next generation high-luminosity collider experiments, from LHC run5 beyond. Each includes charge...
CdSe/CdS colloidal nanocrystals are members of a novel class light-emitting nanoparticles with remarkable optical properties such as suppressed fluorescence blinking and enhanced emission from multiexciton states. These have been linked to the suppression non-radiative Auger recombination. In this work we employ ultrafast spectroscopy techniques identify signatures neutral charged excitonic multiexcitonic We show that recombination biexcitons is not suppressed, while observe gain amplified...
For the next generation of vertex detectors, accurate measurement charged particle timing at pixel level is considered to be ultimate solution in experiments operating very high instantaneous luminosities. This work shows that 55 μm × µm wide 150 thick 3D trench-type pixels, developed by TimeSPOT Collaboration, achieve a time resolution close 10 ps with minimum ionizing particles while maintaining detection efficiency 100% when operated tilt angle larger than 10° from normal incidence....
Among various silicon sensor technologies, 3D sensors demonstrate significant potential for applications requiring exceptional radiation hardness and intrinsic high time resolutions. Silicon pixel with columnar-type electrodes are already operational within the ATLAS experiment, serving in previous Inner B-Layer (IBL) upcoming Tracking (ITk) detectors. Concurrently, advancements driven by next-generation LHCb VELO detector have led to development of fast-timing trench INFN TimeSPOT project,...
